Used to see it all the time when I lived at the pulls. Usually was a bunch of kids that snuck daddy's ram out to play. Saw many many breaks, that is just common in that situation. Snapped drive shaft, rear diff grenading, trannys dieing. It's just typical, and if this is your daily driver, I would strongly recommend you not do it.

Oh, 97, the forum doesn't support HTML code. If you can get the direct links, that would be better.

No. Hang on a sec....

This is a sled pull:

When we were in it real heavy, we Had an Alice 210 Tractor, with dual turbo and meth injection. IIRC, the lowest street gear it had was 8.... No load, it would scream up to 60MPH on it's own.

Why not? I have pulled my 318 at the county fair. I will be doing it again in 2 weeks. Sure things can break, but thats the chance you take.

I want to see a candy cane drive shaft. Most ppl tht sled pull use diesel power. I would like to see a V10 in the ring.
