Default 2nd trip down the track

So i hooked to the sled for the second time this yr that i have had the chance to get to since putin the Chevy back on the road. 5 trucks showed up for the 7000 and under class. I rolled across at 6985 and was one of the heavier in the class. 3 dodges, a Duramax, and me. I had a good pull goin til about 205 when my rear yoke spread apart and let my rear driveshaft go flailin in the wind. once i stopped i was at 219, so im pretty sure i had a good run goin up til the rear yoke gave out. The only thing im really pissd about, is i let a Dura**** beat me. I did end up drivin the truck off the track but now im waitin for a 1410 rear yoke and an altered driveshaft to fit the bigger yoke. So i hope the next time i have better luck cuz i dont want another Dura**** to beat me, so thats 2 dodges, 1 ford, and 1 dura**** that have beat me. here is the vid

Actually im force to use singles for the time being since i destroyed my 3 inch spacers to run duals in the back. im runnin the single up front for a wider pattern and the fact that i have to run 2 different size tires for now.
