Went to the track today, made a couple passes, and the third pass went like this:
Nice burn out, to heat up the new tires... Nice pre lauch, to kinda test the stickiness.... Pre Stage.... Stage... Deep Stage....
AND
Yellow Yellow Ye-GO....
BANG...there goes an axle
Push the car back...
Pull out the Cell phone...
Call around for prices...
Find Wild Rides Racing....
Pull out Visa....
Dish out $ for 33 spline axles, posi, and delivery
Moral of the story..."If ya use sticky tires...expect to break something!!!"

Eric what did you launch at when it broke. I went right before you and bogged hard leaving at 4500. The right lane was crazy sticky.

Eric you must have some kind of factory defect going on with that axle. There is no way in hell you should break anything in your rearend at your power level on DR's. After all, it isn't a GM rearend
I have seen stock axle rearends go high 1.5 60fts on ET Drags before, and I'm not talking about a few fluke passes either. Something isn't/wasn't right with your rearend.

Does'nt matter now. I don't foresee it happening again for awhile with 33 spline axles in it.

Well all I have to say is that Mark(bunchmyfunky) is running a better tire(ET streets) and has more RWHP then a Stock Mach 1 and his car is a Stud!
Go mark! do some more 5k dumps!!!

Mark's car is definately a stud...takes a lot of abuse. However, if you want the number to the place I got the axles from, give me a call. That's the nice thing about Drag Racing, it's not a matter of "IF" but a matter of "When" and "HOW BAD"

Or it would have been a 13.001

Sorry to hear about your rear-end mishap, Eric.
Beef up the rear end, don't warranty it. It'll be good peace of mind in the long run, and it's an opportunity to let the modifications begin.

Have the dealer fix it that way you have new stock axels in the garage for future use.

I have a set of stock rearend parts from my Roush, and yes, I'm not warrantying it...Dealer said that it would be about 3 weeks before I got it. So, the car would be down for 3 weeks, then I would have to have it down for a while after that getting the better stuff put in, so why not just have it down for less than half the time, and get better axles and stuff in there.
