new toy came in.

 

The rear axle is pretty much out of the car right now. The driveshaft and shocks are the only things holding it in place.

Would anyone care to find the cause of why our car went left when it loaded the rear suspension?

The scary part is, 4 pairs in front of us on our 3rd pass, a car ripped the axle out of the car on launch. Had a heim rip open. We could have very well done the same thing.

10-17-10- We went to North Star Dragway in Denton yesterday for the Twin Bracket races. This was only our second bracket race, and we just had different issues all day long. Our first pass wasn't too bad, with a 5.83 to start the day at 9:30 in the morning. Our second pass had an issue, as the car shut off for an instant of a second, and came through at a 5.85. For first round, we red-lit by .02, and the car shut off completely for over a tenth of a second, before coming back to life and trucking down the track to a 6.02 at 116 (needless to say, we lost on a 5.84 dial). Since we knew there would be plenty of time until time trials for the night race, we took the opportunity to comb through the wiring of the car, found what we believed to be the source of the power failures, and corrected it.

In the time trial for the night race, we ran a 5.850, and the power issues had disappeared. However, the weather changed dramatically, and we dialed a 5.83 for first round of our first tech card. We underpredicted the weather, as the car hooked violently and turned to the right at the launch while wheel-standing, thus having to get out of the throttle and let everything calm down. A chase ensued at the top end, and the opponent crossed the finish line first, on the brakes, with a margin of victory of 0.05 seconds.

For the first round of 2nd tech card, our weather station showed a density altitude of 254 feet. Based on the previous run, we knew the car would bite hard, so a tire pressure change was made. As for the run, the car did indeed bite hard as predicted, and we broke out with a 5.802 on a 5.81 dial.

yesterday/today (saturday) was the last race of the year. We triple-entered in 3 different races. Had some noise under braking, thought it was just brakes. In first round, we get back, and find a big oil spot where we were pitting.

We shredded the pinion bearing, trashing the pinion and ring gear. Never thought we'd break a Dana.

Getting headers made after thanksgiving, then pulling the entire driveline out of the car. Engine comes out, heads go to reher-morrison, trans comes out, we're gonna gut and rebuild it (actually blew the front pump up 2 races ago, just been limping it along using high idle to build trans pressure), and axle's coming out to go to a builder, we probably won't do it ourselves.

 

So I left off with the broken axle.

New gears, new front half of transmission, milled heads, and a car diet later...

New record is a 5.639 at 120.46 with a 1.33 60', density alt was something like 500 below and it was a BRAND new starting line (first night of non-street tires).

Running Electronics and quick door points in Denton, Pro and Top Sportsman/Quick Door in Kennedale.
