Default Another common day at the track...

My SS has more miles on a tow truck than on the new set up. At least I can say that the UMI suspension will make you hook better.

Gotta hate it when that happens. You got a DS loop on it, just wondering if it ripped anything else up underneath.

Yup got one and didn't do any damage, thanks God!
Did I mention I broke my 10 bolt exactly 34 days ago and this was my 1st time back at the track since the 12 bolt and suspension set up? Not only that I haven't made a good pass since the H/C swap back in Nov 05.

OUCH At least it was just the drive shaft. Mount it and put it in the garage as a trophy of your power output.

I'd do a search on Denny's Nitrous Driveshafts. They have a lifetime guarantee against breakage.

Well it looks like you are right, I just got done replacing the driveshaft but w/the car running the trans won't go in gear. Any thoughts what might be broken?
