    You should frame this to go with it. I have it in very large format if you would like it. LOL ;)

    Well if you're gonna break something might as well go all out. ;-) I was VERY glad to see your 10.96 but it hurts to see the carnage.

    Was nice to meet you and your wife. Congrats on the 10 sec. p***. You entertained the hell out of us. I know twisting up the 9" ****s, but could have been worse and no one got hurt. Gary

    What's there to think about? You knew it could turn the number so you drove it the way it needed to be done. You sir are a hero to all those who only wish they had the guts to beat on a car like that. Build it, drive it, break it, build it stronger, rinse, repeat.

    wow...you're gonna need more than a funnel to get all that back in there...

    I thought i got out pretty cheap just looking at it on the ground, but after gettin under it i see when the bracket ripped on the left side it cause the axle tube on the right to spin in the housing....guess it's gonna be a little more than i thought.
    Like you i'm glad it broke sittin at the line instead of when i was shifting into 2nd. From the angle the thing is sitting now, it would of taken a hard right since the front wheels aren't functional on take off anymore. I enjoyed seeing you guys again. Thanks for the hospitality!!

    Much respect to:

    1.Craig Henderson, who set up a freakin 70 yr. old buggy spring and ladder bars that will hook 500+ rwhp enough to do that.

    2. The Thunderbolts that helped build that frame strong enough to not pretzel.

    3. The folks that built your driveshaft.

    Congrats again on your 10.96 run D.W. Sorry about your busted case ,but hey atleast you got to get in the ten's before it let go.Your coupe bobbled abit on that 10 second run when you launched and you still got in the 10's .I was real impressed ,especially when you told me in the pits that it had a buggy spring in the rear ...

    Anyone can just throw a driveshaft but it takes a man to destroy the drivetrain

    Damn dude, I was loadin' the folks up for them to head back to town, heard everyone scramblin' and saying something about 'carnage'. That pic of you with the shaft and the nose hangin' off the end, is priceless.
    Congrats on hittin' your goal.
    Cya at Temple in a few.
