Went back on the road yesterday with our new 3 week old baby after being off the road for 5 weeks.

Mazomanie WI hook September 9th. Hot Diesel Class.
Track wasn't the best, some sections were soft, some hard, so I was constantly locking and unlocking to keep the wheelspeed up and stay on top of the charger.
Broke the rear driveshaft, which surprised me as it is built fairly stout, 4" tubing .180 thick. It broke right at the welds.

I wonder what your rpms were after it let go? That sounded wicked.

 

what are you egt during a pull like that? that is an insane amount of smoke! i love it

1600-1800 I'd imagine. I do run some water so I imagine it probably could get hotter than that.
I watch the rpm's and track mainly but I know I've seen the needle at 1700 when I've shut it down at the end of the track.

 

nice pull..... hollar at me i've been trying to get in touch with ya lately..... are the guys that built the driveshaft gonna fix it?

 

Dang man that bites, I do however think the "Not cool" at the end was pretty funny. Your truck is super wicked...

 

Sounds like you fell under the charger a little right before the driveshaft snaps. Impressive pull none the less.
