Default another one bites the dust!

I was at desoto last night and just got the car back...went to launch the first time slow because of the stupid wheel hop....ran 12.52 at 113 with a 2.98 6ft time...so on the next run i decided to really heat em up and go..well it hooked when i launched at 2600 rpm and then by the time i was at 5200 the axle was gone! So now here goes another cobra irs! didnt get home til 1 in the morning wating on the tow truck and dropping it off....Atleast now ill get that solid axle...just sux to have it happen with a possible great run too!

ouch, damn weak IRS half-shafts

got to look at the bright side of things though. when you get it back you will be faster with the loss in weight and the added traction.
