Default Race Ends With a Thump?

Was doing a little red light race tonight, made it out of 1st and into 2nd with no problems.
Half way though 2nd I hear a loud thump and then something that sounded like grinding (may or may not have been the 315's on the rear grinding the inner body)
Pull over and check out the rear underside and can't find anything unusual about it)
Driving it SLOWLY home the rear got a shaky at higher RPM's (over 2) and would rattle a lot if I skip shifted to 4th
It also sounded like something was clanking together in the rear ever time I hit a hump or a bump in the rear (in Denton there are plenty or bumps to hit)
Got it home and crawled up under it, the only thing I could see was that maybe the upper Pan Hard Bar was bent, I think, can you do that?
Any one heard/had this happen
Thanks!

Edit * I have some rear end work (Lower Pan Hard Bar and Lower Control Arms) all non adjustable *
