When I found it, I spoke to some guys and gals with Camaros and mustangs lined up already outside and they told me the Music City group had not arrived and didn't know when you guys would roll in so I booked on back to KnoxVegas. I had to attend a going away party for a fellow co-worker that evening. Sorry i didn't get to meet up with you all.:(

You get an E for effort, sorry we missed ya. Maybe soon we can all get together & have some more good Camaro fun.

Jeff and Ruby! It look's like you'll really had fun. I hate I missed it. That's what it's about my Camaro Enthusiast friends, having Camaro fun. Also, it was great getting a chance to meet you and your wife (Jeff).

Finally got the onboard videos cut and uploaded.

Here are more videos of Yotaman's catastrophic driveshaft fail ... sorry Tim, I had cameras all over the damned place!

Onboard with me via my visor camera ... where you can hear it come apart at 0:58 and my reaction at 1:00 as I see his headlights skittering around

Same race, but via my door camera:

First race ahead of me is GMteSSted's win over Black Beauty, then onboard with GnyaTek as RubyCamaro redlights

Finals

Visor camera battery was dead so only had the door camera feed for the finals. And due to a "technical issue" (read that as "operator error") the bleacher camera shot was .... lets say .... a bit off...

The race was EXTREMELY close. GMteSSted with a supercharger vs GnyaTek's SS convertible with CAI. Due to dial in times, I got the headstart, and it took most of the track, but GMteSSted caught up to me and made the pass. I passed him as he shifted, but he got me at the line ... with a margin of victory of only 0.0262 seconds.

The race was so close, that GMteSSted ddin't even come into view at all until after the finish line as we were slowing down. Great job Bobby! Congratulations on the win!

and from the stands .... uh .... welll? ....

Can you post our second run? I'd like to see that one.

Bonemaro · 04-30-2012, 11:09 PM

Great pic's ! Looks like a wonderful time. Thanks for sharing.

Black Beauty · 05-02-2012, 11:40 PM

Next Up is the Music City 5th Generation Camaro Fest II in Oct. 2012 official date to be set within a week. We hope more of you can make it. This is a growing event, & will become a huge 5th Gen. Camaro gathering within 5 years. Local dragracers are beginning to except these cars as true american modern day hotrods.

yotaman96 · 05-03-2012, 08:23 PM

I pulled the driveshaft out today. DSS says it looks like the driveshaft had a bad weld. It damaged the heat shield and my new exhaust. DSS has already shipped out a new shaft for me.

Congrats to all. Sadly one club member (votaman96) blew his driveshaft. :( Let's get the bad news over with first though there will be more pics & video to come as it was a rather spectacular (not in a good way) failure.

I know that feeling!!!! Happened to me about 3-4 weeks ago. Did alot of damage under the car, Exhaust, heat shields, got my new 1000hp shaft in today. I feel your pain and I know it sucks being you have to pay for it all.

Just amazing! I don't suppose they would help with the damage to the heat shield & exaust since it was their bad weld, would they?

yotaman96 · 05-05-2012, 04:50 PM

They did send me a carbon fiber shaft to replace the aluminum one that broke. As far as the damaged parts, I think I'm on my own.

yotaman96 · 05-06-2012, 08:58 PM

I put the new shaft in today and drove it home.
