Driveshaft Dies!!!! Went out to the track yesterday to hopefully break the cam only power adder list record. Everything was looking great.....track prep, cold weather (had a head wind, but no biggie.) Did an awesome burnout. Lined up, got ready to go and when I did......BAM. Car does not move and just revs. At first I thought the stock rear finally went, but instead I killed the driveshaft. Go figure. LOL Never heard of a stock rear lasting longer than the driveshaft, have you? 
Anyway, I am getting a chromoly one so this shouldn't happen.....at least it will take a lot more. 
I guess I will have to wait until the next event to give it a shot.
