went to track... Got some good weather first pass...2.24 60 foot 13.33 at 111.03 mph. Sounds good.
So now I air down the ET streets in prep for a 3 grand launch. Hit it POP the car dosen't move. I guess a good twin Disk and 12 bolt will twist the **** out of a stock Aluminum F-body driveshaft...Going to pick up the car tomorrow I rented a trailer, hopefully I didn't hurt anything else.
Man I can't catch a break...

Damn.........that sucks. I had something somewhat similar happen to me with the twin disc. Except I had my rear output shaft from my differential snap in two. Them twin discs grab like a mother ******. 
I got a heavy duty rear diff now. That and a carbon fiber driveshaft.........
What do you plan on replacing your broke driveshaft with? Treated steel?

haha Cory!
Well at first glance it appears that all that is shattered is my EGO and the Driveshaft.
Time will tell. Got it home and the guys at PR were pretty helpful getting it on the trailer.

Oh yeah... I bought me one of those Denny driveshafts as a preventative measure... my stocker had lasted, so far. But at any time it can go POP, just like yours did. Glad to see you're getting it taken care of!
