Default Video of the Moser TQ Arm Breakage

I just added one more video to the site. This was where I was attempting to launch on the Trans-Brake with 8lbs of boost (as compared to the 3lb launch on my 9.86 pass). It completely shattered the solid steel TQ Arm mount, along with breaking the driveshaft and U-Joint. Replaced everything over the weekend, and found out it also broke the sprag in the transmission. Maybe we can get it back together in time to play some more next weekend.

Kinda sucked...I was just gettin' in the groove...

And at the VERY BOTTOM of the same page, there's a link to a video of our first day at the track with the '03 Harley Truck. (PSJ- You might like it) My girlfriend was actually driving it. She's pretty good. (<--at driving)

One more thing....I went in and cleaned up the all of the videos of the Z. I didn't realize the quality was so poor before. I'm using all new video editing equipment, and haven't quite got the hang of it yet.

That's it...I'm going to bed now.

I hate that. The down-low power may give you bragging rights, but it don't win races.

WONDERFUL that it makes that kind of power. I have 656 RWTQ and in a 4000 lb. car, unless you beef up a lot of things, you are going to just break stuff.

Now, if I could find a way to shed two or three hundred pounds...

Damn, that car sounds scary, in a good way. I watched that video 3 times just to listen to it. Good luck on fixing everything and getting back on track
