Spun axle tube

[Ares]

Double classing at track and left at 6700 and back goes right I steer right to get straight. Back kept going right. Pulled off to side got and seeing tire into quarter just laughed. Ah well was going to happen sooner or later. I knew they need welded but never got around to it.

Driver side


Passenger side


More driver side

Cool Ed! RPM induced carnage

You going to try to get it back in place or swap housings?

[Ares]

I may try and get this one turned. Then welded/braced. Still gonna try and pick up another housing.

So what your saying is... that I should weld up my fathers 8.8 before he tries to be like Ed? Are you going to build your own truss for the tubes to pumpkin or would you say to go buy something that is pre-fab?

[Martin0660]

or would you say to go buy something that is pre-fab?

No idea what Ed has planned, but I added the Swarr Bar to mine as part of my winter upgrades ...

There are some other options from CHE and SOS, etc

Run it for now Larry, but that is a good upgrade over the winter if you keep launching hard on sticky tires.
Ed had more than a few launched on that stick :)

Ed you're the only guy I know that destroys his car and gets out laughing his ass off.

What can I say. Fix it and try harder

[Martin0660]

Fix it and try harder

Okay Ed, here is the plan .... 7,000 rpm launch in REVERSE ... spin that sucker right back into place. Some how more RPM has to solve this ;)

[Steve-0]

Wow looks like some good fun! That drivers side tire hit any metal at all? Looks mighty close. Nice carnage

LMAO Bob! :D I was wondering how MORE RPM would come to the rescue in this case. :D

^^^ Knows what hes talking about. That has to be the best idea I've heard in a while.

Steve, the first time I looked I skimmed the pics and missed that, I was looking at the axle tube and trying to see what he was showing us.... and I missed that rub on the inner fender. The next time I came to this thread I caught that and could not believe I missed it prior. That falls under the catagory of not seeing the forest through the trees!

[Killercanary]

Ouch! I passed by track yesterday on my way home from the 'burgh and I saw the orange beast sitting at PRP and I told my wife uh-oh! I knew it wasn't there by choice. Good luck with the rebuild!

[Ares]

Picking up car today. Will get rear out and stripped down and housing will goto Continental in Uniontown for repair.

[Martin0660]

Axle splines, axle splines ... we need to see the axle splines! LOL, I assume there is some twist there?

Strange how the Tru Trac chewed up like that ... When mine goes up for winter I'm going to pull mine appart and inspect everything. curious what I will find after the major overhaul from last year.

I also spy cap studs, I didn't know you had them in yours too. Also at leat interesting to me that there are NO marks on the caps fro mthe girdle cover. Makes me wonder if they do anything (beside stiffen the case and hold more oil).

[Ares]

LOL Axle spline porn for Bob :D Yes they both are indentical....Moser ftmfnw



As for the Caps there are marks if a bit hard to notice but the adjusters on cover are black and where they touch cap are shiny.

Dropped housing off this morning and should be done monday.

[somethingclever]

Where did you take the housing to?

Dominick Racecar Fabrication. He said he could fix it and he was only 25minutes from me.
