I was the one that wiped out my diff on a good launch Saturday morning.
I got the pumpkin from Jannetty Racing with 3.73 Richmond gears, billet caps and their clutch pack in the limited slip. I originally thought I broke the driveshaft since the driveshaft should have been the weak link. Never expected to break the 3.73 Richmond gears.
It's funny how people couldn't believe that I was still smiling and laughing after breaking. But if you can't handle breaking parts then you shouldn't ever put your car on the track. Every good pass down the track is just one pass closer to something breaking. It's just part of racing!!

Thanks to Bondurant for bringing over some dollies to get me off the track and to Les from CO for trailering me home. He just got to get a little more seat time in his car by driving it instead of putting it in the trailer.
I got it unloaded this afternoon and will pull the pumpkin in the next few days and I'll post some picks of the damage soon. Not too happy with Richmond gears, will be putting Lingenfelter 3.90's back in it.

Did anyone get any video of me breaking or of my previous passes?? If so
let me know, I'd love to see it. My car number was #209.
