Talking 9" of Fail by EFI Alchemy
This is what happens when Doc launches his car and hooks at the track. The 9" rear and drive shaft gave up on life and tapped out at the same time!

Did the shaft beat the car up?

Slicks and a manual?

The drive shaft yeah, makes sense. Blowing up a 9" sounds like there was something wrong with the rear.

Its lasted quite a while and pulled many 1.4 60ft to have something wrong with it. Not saying its impossible but i think unlikely.

It sucks you broke parts but my point was folks shouldn't read this thread and think that a 9" can't hold a TON of power.

Good luck getting it fixed and back up and running.

Right on man, they can. I didnt want to insult you and come out by saying no way it was wrongfully set up. We bought it assembled quite awhile ago so who knows. Oh well, onto parts hunting now
Thanks
