yep..PSJ that what I figure happened
stock clutch..still loving it
stock axles shafts ...well we feel 1 gave up yesterday. I was in the middle of 3rd on a record setting pass and felt a slight vibration midway through 3rd, then a little shift in the rear, grind and then car smacked the limiter. I eased on the brakes and then let off and tucked off the side side figuring we broke the diff or something. The car can move under very, very light power, but otherwise is grinds something in the rear and I have heard the same noise on C5 when the axle shaft or output shafts brakes.
still went 11.17@104 hitting the brakes and then coasting through the lights
this is the time slip from last Sunday Oct 4th
yesterday results and DragTimes shows around -450 DA @ 11 a.m for this run. I wish it would have stayed together since the air was in the -1200 by 6 p.m
60ft ---- 1.56
1/8 ----- 6.99
MPH ---- 101
1000 ---- 9.13
this would have for sure been a record setting run, but oh well...next time ( hopefully if our weather holds out )
hope to call up Hendrixx tomorrow and get word back on some Bogarts soon as well

I think it would have been an .8x @ 128-129 if it did not break and even better if we could have ran in the -1000 or better air later in the night.
The front wheel/tire combo should shave an easy 100+ lbs off the nose.

I think i need some of that boost
126mph trap would be real nice. Still taking it to the shootout?

I will be going, but the car will be staying home. The plan has been to go and help some friends, customers and meet some new people.

CV broke at passenger wheel
The car is not apart, but the boot is ripped and grease on inside of the wheel. The axles should come in Friday, so Monday we should be good.
-Hendrix axles
-Raptor shift light
-MSD Lunch controller
The launch controller and shift light should give us a nice consistent setup next time out and the axle will keep us going.
