Okay well me and my friend were supposed to go to the track today in his Prelude. Well the car was having problems so we decided to just be a spectator today, and go up in my Cobalt.

My dad hates cars. Hates racing. Hates mods. Hates loud exhausts. hates everything about them. He bought me the car and I basically lease it from him for 500 a month (includes insurance). He got me the car under a few conditions. 1. No modifications 2. NO RACING whatsoever. Well, so I go without telling him, because he would get pissed I drove hour and a half to get there and hes just kinda gay when it comes to cars. So i am basically illegally at the raceway.

We are watching all the cars and it gets me very pumped. I have never ran at a track, so i decided to pay the 15 bucks and do a couple 1/8 miles.

First run ever way absolutely horrendous ran like a 11.2 just terrible.

Next run did alright and ran a 9.83. Still bad.

Well here come the third run. Get on the line. Do the prestage light goes green and CLUNK. Car is not moving i am WOT in first. First think i think is shitttt clutch slip. Then i see the White smoke come from the engine area. I get out of the car and the guys push it to the parking lot.

Broken axle. The car wont move in gear. Had to call roadside assistance and.......my dad.

Right now it is chillin' at a dealership. and im borrowing my friends CRX.

So yeah, Tonight is the worst night of my life so far, and i will probably never see that car again.

 

tell your dad to wake the **** up..... who gets their kid a super charged car and expects a granny driver

 

no ****. I want even illegally racing. He should be happy I decided to take it to the track, where its all supervised and there is ambulance crews.

 

damn, that sucks. hopefully you get her back. what i would do for a ss/sc.....

 

I know man, I put everything I am worth into this car. I always keep it clean inside and out. It is my baby.

 

Dude that effin sucks.... but hey, if you do get it back, at least now you can upgrade to s2 axles! heh.... and do everyone a favor and get some tranny mounts at minimum before going back to the track... your car and timeslip will thank you!

 

I don't think i will ever go back to the track.

That was the worst experience ever.

 

man it isn't THAT bad... axles going is WAY better than internals going!

just remember, **** happens... get back on the horse and keep riding!

 

thanks man, That auctually makes me feel better.

 

yea man... s2 axles, WAYYY stronger/better than stock, $800. thats nothin man, cost you almost as much to replace with stock axles. then you won't have to worry bout snapping them unless you get like 400+hp lol. as long as you have a job, no worries man!

 

My dad is the same way although when he was younger, he had many muscle cars that we worked on and stuff..Cool huh...lol

That sucks but I'm sure if you explain to your dad aliens did it, he'll understand.

 

haha

 

so you somehow broke an axle on a stock car on stock tires?

on the brighter side you get to drive a crx around.

 

not this CRX, this thing is a beast. We call it Rexanne

 

how did u break axles stock!? what were u launching at?! how bad was the track prepped?! were u hopping?! sry for the question but that amazes me..

 

lol that sucks man!

 

The track was STICKY AS HELLLLLLLLLLL like your feet stuck to it.

I launched at like 2.3K.... but i just dumped the clutch.

My second run i revved to high and wheel hopped sooooo badly.

weird thing is some of the mechanics there were saying the axle has been broke for longer than that, it just popped out tonight. They could tell i guess from all the splatter or something.

 

Its not that big of a deal. When you race a car you break stuff suck it up princess. Your dad doesn't approve of cars. I know tons of guys that think cars are for driving to work, picking up the old girl, and getting grub. As long as you live under his roof and he pays for your car thats how it will be. If you get out of his house, get yourself a job, get your own car, then you can do whatever the **** you want with it. If thats not something you can do then don't take your dads car to the track and screw it up with your double clutching and granny shifting =)

Anyways glad you didn't wreck the car and you are okay. Your dad will get over it. One of his gay friends is likely to tell him to relax and get over it.

 

lol... hey it's only an axle... but stock? don't drop the clutch anymore and it'll be fine

 

a broken axle isnt the end of the world. it happens. just get better ones(if warranty dosent fix this) and take her back to the track with slicks.

it was stock?
i thought at least stage 2. ^^ i agree, you're launching way too high

 

I wish everyone would call me a princess!. ^

Turns out my dad is auctually pretty cool with it, car is at the shop and it will get fixed around monday or teus.

My dad was auctually glad i was at a track, and not street racing.

He is right regaurdless of what i say. But i think my beautil red baby will be back in my possesion soon enough.

This is gonna be a cool story to tell my kids when i get them thier 2028 Chevy Cobalt SS/Sc/Tc/ hahah

and yeah my bitxh is BONE stock.

 

how old are you?

 

but he would still be better off with a ss s/c any day over a crx =P

 

Dont drop the clutch at all man. You got lucky it was just a axle. Your tranny case could of cracked and leaked fluid everywhere, including your clutch...it could of been worse. Just launch like you were at a light. That works for me the best.

 

ima say 16. another reason not to buy a 20+k FI car for a young driver. and your dad bought you teh car...and you STILL took it to the track. sounds like you still need time to grow up
