Trex track results......BAD
Trex track results......BAD Probably something that none of you want to hear, but here we go anyways. I went to the track to test out my new Trex Cam yesterday. Well it did not go over very well. My first run, I launched at 3500 big mistake car bogged and almost died at the line. Ran a 13.1 on a 2.6 60 foot. 2nd run launched at 5000 lifted the wheels an inch and then bogged but not bad 1.8 60 foot ran a 12.1 @ 115.
Mods at the track Mt et radials 16’s and everything in the sig the tires were brand new and I had never launched on them before.
Now for the horrific part. I went for my 3rd run of the day. I get to the line and decided I am going launch at 6 and see what happens. Figured I would rather spin then bog. Well I did neither I snapped my Iron 3rd member in half. I am not kidding. I will have someone post picture so you can see what I am talking about. So looks like the car will be down for a while.
So much for 9"'s being industructable

I busted my friend's 9 inch housing also. This is with his AFR 195 cc, 233/239, stock bottom LT1. The front of the housing snapped right off!! We thought they were indestructable too. I want to see how bad yours looks. I did his on the street shifting to second at about 7100 rpm.
