Default Snaped a half shaft on z06!!

Hey guys my buddy took his 03 z06 to the trake and he launched at 4k with nitto drags on and broke his right side rear half shaft. The car only dynoed at 403hp at the wheels. Has any one heard of this happening? i thought even though independent is weaker the vettes were pretty strong.

I saw a guy with a C6 ZO6 break his on his 1st pass. Made an aweful crunching/grinding sound followed by miscelaneous parts falling out the bottom.

But seriously, he needs to get some upgraded 300M alloy half shafts on that thing!
