Well Wednesday I went to Greatlakes Dragaway and took 21 passes in 3 hours with a half hour break about halfway.
I won all but the second to last run against a Evolution which had me from the start.
He ran 12.3 to my best of the nite 13.4 @103 on my bald KDWS.
I ran several F bodies, Bullit Mustang, Mach I, Turbo Imports of various flavors.
Now the pinion bearing and the spidergears, carrier bearings, and the Carrier itself is history.The pin is loose and it is howling like a freight train.
Might be a good time to change gears again too.

21 passes in 3 hours?! Dang! We get about 1 run every 45 minutes at our street Legal Drag nights.

Holy hot laps! Congrats on laying waste to the competition. Sux about your rear..
Bradley;
Was that a test N tune session?
We usually can run laps as fast as you get back to the starting line (that is before our three strips closed down)

Bradley,Just wondering the 1.80 60' that you ran,was that on street tires or a DR?
Welcome to the Part-r-Us club. Nice job on cooking rice and domestic beef.

^^ +1! ^^
21 runs!!!
:bows:
Were you the only person at the strip!?!
Quite honestly....that is at least 5 trips to the dragstrip in our area.
The most I've ever run is 7-8 runs at a test and tune that was not crowded.
BTW: Sorry to hear about the lunched rearend.

Around here, if you get 4 or 5 passes on a test n tune night, consider yourself lucky.
What mods are being planned for the rebuild?
