You snap one? How so? I've had good luck with the stock ones but the car doesn't hook at low enough speeds to really hurt much anyways
I chalked it up to me being stupid. I thought I'd be better off just doing a quick dusting of the tires and forgo the water box. I was just going to give the tires a chirp and clean them off. But I believe I snapped the half shaft doing exactly that. Had I gone through the water box and done a regular burn-out, I probably would have been fine. The wet tires wouldn't have hooked as hard and put the strain on the axles. I'm guessing that the mashing of the gas on sticky tires did it. I never made it off the line.
As soon as I finished the burn-out, I started rolling to the staging lights. That's when I knew something went wrong. The car was not idling forward as quickly as it should have. And eventually the car would just not move forward in gear at all. I was able to reverse it out of the staging lanes and then reverse stopped working. And that was it.
I was really bummed. Tomorrow I was supposed to drop the car off at the shop for the blower install. The new axles arrive on the 31st and hopefully that'll go quickly. I don't know when I'll be able to get back in the shop's queue, hopefully sooner than later.
