We've all seen ONE axle break off the line, right?

How 'bout BOTH?

I'm guessing the clean-up afterwards was because of a "urine spill".

I bet there's thousands out there like that. That's what 10.5 cars are all about...put down 4-digit HP levels on stock parts. At least that's what it seems anyway.

Feel kind of bad for the driver. He backed it into the wall pretty hard looks like.

The title to that video makes me think it was posted by a seventeen year old that drives his mothers Camry to the local street races.

first thing that came to my mind...I bet he was feeling pretty good about how SLOW he was that day

So, do you automatically lose both wheels with c-clip eliminators?

The mavs' are bolted in at both ends, so this "typically" wouldn't happen, right

Just wonderin', since I run a spool, and a whoppin' 200HP (if I am lucky, and on a good day )
