I ran a 11.94 @ 114.82 at Cecil County Dragway today. 60 ft times were 1.682. Only problem I ran into was I made only one pass. I know I could have hit 11.8. I broke a rear driver side axle "Snap Boom Thump" was the sound lol. Its getting fixed tomorrow with another 28 spline just for now. In two months I will be going to a 31 spline setup. Videos to follow of the run and the vid of me bout to pull out the hole then the Thump snap boom.

Congrats, Nate and welcome to the 11's. I know that you have been working toward that all this year. :up:

Sorry to hear about your axle but it sounds like you have a plan for the fix.

Congrats again Nate!!! I had a great time out there and your hard work and attention to detail shows in your great time-slips.

I got my best run on Saturday as well with my 12.23 ET and even a 116.29 mph trap speed on a 1.99 60'... It sucks that you broke, especially since you were lined up with me! I just wish that you and I could have gotten a few more runs in... :alone:

I definitely have some work to do in order to catch up with you!!! We shall see... The saga continues in 2009... TO BE CONTINUED...:burnout:

If I read this correctly Nate raced and was the looser. High-C is the 2008 Champion by a TKO. :beer: Better luck next year and by the way, where was your helmet Nate. Cecil County has killed several Marauder. MaurderMark's engine died there, your axles, and my transmission last April.

That's apart of racing Nate. I am sure John Force returned his winnings every time one of his opponents had a catastrophic failure, red lighted, crossed the white line, or missied a gear. When racing competitively you lose if you don't cross the line first in a heads up event. It's just that simple. Give the man the title he deserves and better luck next year.<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gxqXjbqkDVY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gxqXjbqkDVY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Now this is CATASTROPHIC FAILURE, you just broke a part.

That sucks to see that, good thing you stopped right there and didn't try to keep going.

I think I will keep to my Crapitol track, if Cecil has claimed several Marauders I don't want to be the next lol.

Usually they shatter. Its a pretty good R&R cleanout to repair that issue. My friends Mach did the same thing this year. It destroyed the carrier and bearings as well.

Some bad news he needs a locker too. It expanded the the boss that the bearing presses onto, and split the bearing. Pic up in a few.

Yea guys so for now I'm going to run a one wheel peel open differential until feb. Wouldn't make since putting another 28 spline carrier in there when I'm upgrading to all 31 spline axles and truetrac.
