Wrecked on the 4th pass... A new Mark Williams Chromoly shaft has been ordered. Guess I won't be racing over Memorial Day Weekend.

Good gracious! When did it happen? I bet it tried to shake the car apart! I've broken tailshaft housings from a twisted shaft that wasn't visible just looking at it.

It's a wander that didn't try to eject itself from the car.... Is it the camera angle, or do I see lots of down pinion angle being used here?

Happened on my 4th pass, on this combo. Didn't feel a thing until I pulled 3rd gear. Yes it shook the car hard. Scratched up the tunnel in the car. I drove it back to the trailer, and didn't feel anything then. Noticed it when I was looking things over.

The bent part looks like it is lined up with the pinion and the driveshaft is running uphill to the trans is why I was asking. Almost looks like the driveshaft wasn't happy with whatever was going on there. I never liked aluminum anything on the driveshaft.....This just reinforces my opinion.

ugh....The joys of more power. It could have been worse as I'm sure you are aware. MW is the stuff for sure, how long is that shaft? Wonder what material they use?
