Tony that is the result of a blown sprag and I can tell you that the super sprag has 4 more rollers in the same space and would be hard pressed to roll over and fail. it is really a ford C-6 sprag and I have seen very few of them fail over the years and the mud truck guys beat the hell out of them. 70 duster full chassis super pro 416 CNC Indybrock heads 727 w/brake best so far 1.212 60 6.219 in 1/8 at 110.88 9.768 at 137.81 1/4

I have heard that, but I wouldn't trust it. at a minimum a shield of some sort.

Heal up quick Dan, its good to hear its just a broken foot....you'll be back in the saddle in no time. probably not in that particular saddle.... Went through that same ordeal with a friends Challenger that was probably on a high 10 pass. Engine had been set back 6 inches and it had a tin floor in it. This was long before internet, and us not being local to a track were oblivious to the possibility of a trans explosion even occuring. After the autopsy we're quite sure the 8.75 gear let go first shocking the overunning clutch. When the drum broke it wrapped the tin floor around his right foot/ankle. Dents in the roof, wiped out all his Autometer gauges, and a chuck was stuck in the drivers door panel. He never went to the doc, but had a limp for a long time. After that all our torqueflights have had blankets. Personally I'd rather have the blanket than the TSC sheild as the blanket will absorb energy, but with the "rules" we'll be running a sheild.....might have the blanket over that if I can stuff it in there.
