Hey watch that!!!!

Having seen Cecil's crash crew in action, I'm sure the driver is OK. They're pretty good at this track.

tell him that tight lug nuts are a good thing to have in a race

Wasn't the lugnuts...snapped both axle shafts

wow, it really was built Ford tough! :clonk:

Seriously though glad he's alright, I can imagine that was an scarey feeling!

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I'm thinking I don't want to own any of those axles!!!!

Yeah, it wasnt the lug nuts, the axles broke. Bummer

My assumption is he had an 8.8 rear, he also had a parachute on the car, so this rear was not up to the power level of that powertrain. Far many more axle breaks in cars with C-CLip rears as the power goes up [ ie 12 bolt Chevy rears]. So no one is immune to the failure problems.

The car had C-clip eliminators. Look at Vid close.

I saw that he had C-Clip elims, that's what told me it was an 8.8. 8.8's are c-lip design. just like a Chevy 12 bolt. Ford 9" rears don't have them. You can build a 9" with a 35 spline axle with off the shelf parts - this is a very beefy unit.

That car has ZERO rear wheel horsepower. Thats because it doesn't have any rear wheels.

Thumbs-up to the guy in the other lane for not t-boning him.

why did the car keep drifting over to the center after it hit the wall?

Whats interesting is that this happened on Saturday. I was there Friday nite when a Mustang lost a wheel and shut down the track for a while.

Looks like there's a pattern here....

You know the physics law of every action has an opposite reaction? Well your seeing the reaction to hitting the wall.

I bet the car was going faster than the video looks. He skidded quite a ways.
