aren't those made in germany? 
went to track...
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?

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.

mike, I'm sorry to hear about your drive shaft isues,
you gonna be home all day,
I'm curious what the driveshaft looks like,
did you twist it and break it in the middle, or did you blow a joint?

Mike I sent my back up shaft home to you so you could get the car moving. DO NOT hammer on it. It is ONLY a back up shaft for daily use
Should get you by till the new one gets here

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!
