Default driveshaft carnage

I figured some of ya'll might get a kick out of this. At the track the other night on street tires I destroyed my driveshaft. Sure did figure the 10 bolt would go first.

Yeah the sport dog is ok. Other than I can put it on max power and all it does is make my dog twitch when he is pumped up and going after birds.

Just a couple scratches. No dents. Broke it at the line so it wasn't banging around for long.

I never understood why they put aluminum ds in the m6 cars and steel in the autos. I saw this same thing happen last month at the track.

Aluminum isnt a weak material. My DS is about the only thing I havnt broke on my car. If your replacement breaks Gresham in Odessa makes lots of our DS for our pumps and you know they aint no weaklings either. But the PST you mentioned is a nice one also when you get that new rear. Hopefully before destroying your 10 bolt. I should have my replacement parts from D&D this weekend. Oh-your TQ arm ok?

ive got an auto and mines aluminum? aluminum is lighter, so will put more power to the wheels. you have to replace the driveshaft in pretty much anything when you add stress, ie more power and traction.
