A friend of mine was doing the burnout contest at carlisle one year and broke the output shaft at the end of the front planet splines. Car was stationary , 383 - 2bbl in a 69 Satellite wagon. What happened was the spiders in his single track 3.23 gear rear end seized on it's shaft shaft and in the split second it took for the spiders to break into pieces it shocked the driveline enough to break the output shaft. He was lucky because the rear sprag in the trans was also rolled, I don't know when that happened though as he didn't really beat on the car outside of that one burnout contest.
My pumps gears broke on decel or engine shut off, after a usual pass. Fired the car back up at the ticket shack and it wouldn’t move.
11.48 @ 120 with a 1.80 60' 318, stock 1.88 heads, stock 904, Pump Gas, 13 lbs of boost.
9.94 @ 134, 318 on pump gas, 14 lbs w/ Eddies, transbrake 727, 3600 lbs, 3.54 gear and 28's.
