I had a great time till my driveshaft broke. What the hell do you do at that point. Tried to find a new one to get me home but to no avail. Had a great time all things considered and hope to be back to the track to see what the crew cab will do. Didn't get to hang out much with everything going on but it was great to see everyone and meet a few members I never had an opportunity to meet before. Here is a pics of the carnage for you guys.

I would not waste my time with a new 1 piece drive shaft. GO with a two piece and move on.

You mean like when we first went down to the dirt track to look at the tractors and you shout outloud, "I don't know if we should be down here, we really don't really look like rednecks." At which point you hike your shorts up so high you display your "male camel-tow" ?!?

You missed some good explosions.... A few drive lines (all woman drivers) The best and most dangers for the crowd and driver was the clutch flywheel explosion..... one chunk flew 60+ feet toward the crowd and landed less than a foot from a dude in a wheel chair......

Great vids Bill and good job You were smashing down that track. You got any more vids of me!!? I saw the second vid of me and you. That was my first run with the new motor and setup. Rick did a great job tuning. I think i ran a 12.3 against you on that run, I was on your tail the whole way Second run was 12.2 and then I decided to stop for the day. Some lighter wheels up front like you, shift points adjusted, and a better stall and I should be running mid-high 11's. This was the 5th time I've ever ran at the track since I've started.
I Know someone recorded me?!
