Is this from one of our members? Trans explosion - I read the driver is ok, with a sore foot. Pic was taken Saturday at Milans No ET Nats. Pic is from Mike Grasso - Outlaw Photo

I was sent the pic on my Facebook - I went to Grasso's photo section and read that the trans had exploded and parts came through the floor. Driver walked away, but I READ that he had been hit in the foot. I posted to get some info.

And expensive. A billet drum is a lot cheaper than what that will cost.

So..is the consensus the trans was a 727? How much do BILLET drums go for? Might be something for me to look into....especially since we pulled my engine and trans out of the GTX on Saturday!
About $600.

OUCH!!! now that's going to hurt, and I am not trying to be funny here, glad the driver didn't suffer anything major,, if in fact it was a 727 then a billet drum should of been used right along with a good aftermarket sprag not just a replacement factory bolt in one, i do feel they are stronger than the standard bolt-in's,,also powerslides do bust too,,seen a lot of factory cases break in two.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.
