First pass out went a 16.512@81.95 with a 2.3 60' (2 tenths and 2 MPH better then previous best, no changes). Drove around and went again immediately to a 16.63@81.5. Everything was perfect and the lanes were clear (there was maybe a dozen cars there) so I pulled up to do a third run in a row. Did my burnout, staged, launched from 7500RPM's... ...and snapped the new rear u-joint clean in two, and the driveshaft banged the ground and broke one of the collars off. SUCK! So I wasted a good 30+ run night 10 minutes in! Got a guy to tow strap me to the Burger King outside the track (after pulling the driveshaft out), then called the insurance. Had it towed to a family members house in Vancouver and my neighbor came down to rescue me. Hitching a ride back down tomorrow with my tow straps to get it home, but we're going to try the driveline shop in Vancouver first. The track better be this good tomorrow for the P71!!!! __________________ Michael Pinto 2008 PDXCGP Drag Racing Season Champion 83 RX-7 GSL; 12A/5-Speed, Red/Red; 100% Stock - 16.072@83.39 01 CV Police Interceptor; 4.6 SOHC V8/4R70W, Dk Blue/Grey; K&N FIPK/RP Oil/Optima/Superchips/Flowmaster 40's/2.5" cat-back - 14.854@92.37 Read my Rx-7 Build Thread! http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...ed=1#post70955 Get on the new RCC 1/4 Mile ET List! http://www.rotarycarclub.com/rotary_...read.php?t=368 Vote for the ROTM! http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...play.php?f=125
