Default first carnage in almost 3 years

The starting area was slick out to about 75'. When the front tires made the transition the truck started to shake. When the rear tires hit the better track it busted the rear drive shaft.

I talked to the sled operator before anyone hooked. We both knew it was a bad situation waiting to happen. The truck is running good and I had hopes for a good hook. There's a couple more left to finish out the year. I'm going to bump the timing up from 24* and maybe put in the 5X.018's and see what happens.

Aftermarket shaft but still 1410. At this point in time I'd rather have the shaft as the weak link. This wouldn't have happened if it weren't for track conditions. If I had 1480's it's hard to tell what would of happened, maybe nothing.
