Sorry about your misfortune, I have had the same 35 spline Moser's in my car for about 12 years now,,,  maybe I better buy a new set instead of having mine shortened and re-splined before 
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I have only ever seen them break there in a higher hp car shaking the tires. I have been mid 8's with my 35 spline stuff and plan to go 7's here soon, just reminds you anything made by a man can break. Good luck
One day I will have something cool here.

Sorry to hear of your failure, I'm glad you didn't get hurt and the car didn't get hurt worst  The first time I saw a race axle break like yours was Mark Williams in a GM 12 bolt at Orange county back in the 1970s or 1980s, Mark Willaim use to sell lifetime guarenteed axles and that was one of them. Mark Williams overnighted a new axle to the track for that racer for no charge, I'm sure they didn't pay for the body damage  A freind of mine bought a older NHRA stick shift stocker that had a set of Mark Williams 30 spline axles in the 8 3/4, he switch the third member and saw that the left axle had started twisting, around one spline. He called me and I told hime to swap it over to the right side  It broke off at the next race  Mark Williams told him to never swap axles after running them, it messes up the grain in the steel, or something like that  I've broke, twisted off, two stock axles drag racing, both twisted off in the splines where it came out of the posi units, both where left axles

A friend of mine had a new Moser axle break off at the hub, they sent him a new one, but failed to include the quarter panel in the box. Looks like there is a problem with all manufactures axles, maybe we're the problem. I have Strange 35 spline in the Barracuda. After 37 years the splines still are straight.  
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I got the same reply from Strange when I asked about swapping side>side with axles....I believe they said.."that would be a TERRIBLE thing to do". I did break a Strange 30 spline at the splines in my old car. I was told when I ordered them that there was NO warranty on the 30 spline axles. They lasted about 10-12 years though. I bought Moser after the failure and no more problems.
