I Snapped A Cv Shaft!!!!!!!!

 

I got staged wrong into the water bax from what people on the line told me. And without and LSD, only my left tire spun during my burnout (usually they both do if im set in the water correctly). So when I launched from the tree, Only me left tire caught traction , so all my power go sent to it and made a big snap. Couldnt go anywhere after that.

Had to get towed home.

I am not surprised though. I only launched at around 3000 rpm, but it was all on the left tire. I guess time to upgrade to a quaiffe and get some better shafts. Ill get pics of the damage up as soon as i can.

 

did the black ss.sc with the DRS run any goodtimes without snapping the shaft.

 

Elevation was at 3700 Feet.

I was only able to get one decent run in before I snapped the driveshaft.

My very first run on slicks.... 14.09 @ 101.22 mph

Thats was early shifting into second (bogged second) and Hitting the limiter in 2nd as I shifted to 3rd.

It felt like a bad run to me so I know it was capable of alot more. I think I could have knocked it down to a 13.7 lastnight but I didnt get the chance. I had a 7/8 full tank of gas too.

 

Ya, thats kind of what happened to me a bp after they had just vht'd the track, really sticky. Right tire caught, left didn't, sidegear went through the transmition. At this point i really wish gm would have had g85 to 2005

 

Nice job guys! Good turnout.

Sorry to hear about the car Jekyl.

 

I was wondering....what are the size of the slicks? I bet they are really thowing off your gearing...expain why you got a great 60 ft but et did not pick up much.

 

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Those are at least an additional 2" larger in diameter than the stock tires with wheels. That will give you a much lower final drive ratio than the stock 4.05! If he could get smaller tires, they would be much better.

 

yeah they are quite a bit bigger than stock overall diameter. Thats what I was figuring dropped my mph so much. They are 26 inches tall, 9.5 wide.

They really felt to have bogged when i shifted into second as well. (granny shifted). I wanted to wait untill i had a decent launch before i tried powershifting... otherwise, whats the point of powershifting and stressing the car if i have a bad launch and a garunteed low time.

I wont run the slicks again untill i have the LSD and racing drive shafts installed.

A big thanks to Rod ( Victory Red SS) to mailing me out the stock shafts to get me on the road again.!!!

 

It was nice to meet you all. Sucks about your car Cody, I left just after your 3rd run.
It looks like we have a Mcdonalds color theme going in a couple pics of the line up :P

 

Sorry I posted in another section guys.. I can move it if you want!! ! I was in a hurry and decided that I was gonna post somwhere else I guess haha!
Avro2006, I think it's great that you can only remember my name haha!

 

Cody.... See how much better it would have been if you would have gotten the LSD from the get go like me!? That really sucks though.. I know you ordered it! And hey.. it's really nice of Rod to send you shafts! Hopefully I'll see you around soon.. call me sometime this week and we could maybe get together unless you're going back north! We should try to set up another meet for next week....

 

HAHAHAHAHA i keep seeing a blue wing "shark fin" poking out in those pics...

almost looks like its stalking its prey.........

 

I got a 14.09 on street tires and with some wheel hop, you'll have no problem breaking the 14's once you get those new shafts. Keep us updated.

 

I agree, i should be able to make it down this friday

 

don't waste youtr time...they are not runing this friday due to some weekend event.

Come on July 7th

 

done and done

 

APPARENTLY the track is closed friday... I think I'm gonna call tomorrow and see.....
