Sorry to hear about all the breakage, hope you don't have to go the auto route. I've been there a bunch of times, never fun to have the car down all the time. Can't believe you could do so much damage on such a low rpm launch. Are you still running drag radials? If so, maybe a bias ply tire might be easier on parts?

I run BFG drag radials. I can't believe all that broke at the same time. Still don't know what I'm doing. Maybe I'll be back for the July race.
