Well, I had a great day at the track dispite having my car towed home after blowing up the rearend. Kinda suprised myself with my reaction times today.
I decided to work on my lights in the time trials since that has been my biggest downfall this season.
My reaction times were as follows
(Don't have the timeslips in front of me but I think I remember the numbers)
.534
.562 (fell asleep at the lights)
.500 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.532
It was my first ever .500 light
I have had 5-6 .499 lights and a few .502-.505 lights in the past
As for the rearend, they VHT'd the track right before we ran and the track was hooking VERY well. Launched @ 6200 rpm and BOOM, the car went 8" and the rearend locked up. Actually, the track was so sticky that when I jacked up the rearend to move the car, the driverside tire was 2" off the ground when the passenger finally unstuck from the track and the car leveled out !!!!
For those who do not know, I am running a 31 spline Eaton posi and Moser axles. Will take it apart tomorrow to see what exactly broke. My guess would be the Eaton is destroyed since the passenger side tire is locked up and the driver side tire will spin (albeit not smooth) and the left axle can be pulled in and out 3/4"
Did I tell you about the .500 light?
