Here's a crappy video. You can just see the pinion come flying out from under the car at the end.

That would suck. Two years ago, a friend of mine was racing at Cedar Falls Raceway and the driveshaft in his opponent's car let loose. My friend was about 200 feet behind him and the driveshaft came out from under the guy's car and hit the front of my friend's car.

I guess i better knock on would ...i never had any driveline carnage....i have burnt up head gaskets and broke a block

 

[IHI]

Hopefully nothing was injured but pride and iron parts, I hate to see things like that happen, but have to admit, that photo catching it happen is very cool...those kinda captures dont happen typically for us small potatoe guys.

If it makes ya feel better, in the past 12yrs of racing, I've seen THAT EXACT carniage more times than I can count on both hands. Usually stock carriers the owner knew was the weakest link, and then this happens

Exactly! I knew my carrier was on borrowed time. It didn't owe me anything though. Stock carrier with 31-spline axles lasted 4 years behind nearly 1000 horsepower.

At least it wasn't on the bumper like in your avatar when it went!

I know how it feels to have the transmission come out looking like that....mine was from a broken u joint 2 weeks prior though.

OUCH.... it did suck when the trans fluid got under the tires i changed lanes...the bad part was i was impatient and had to pass the old lady in front of me...don't know why everything broke, but lesson learned...

The stupid part is I left off the foot brake when it all broke. Wasn't even using the trans-brake.

good thing it let go early in the run, that could have been nasty further down the track...
