Back at it, trying to sort out the IRS with yet another broken axle after 3 passes!

Pass 1: Soft launch, just wanted to go A to B and make sure everything was happy. Successful pass, no issues.

Pass 2: Cut a 1.46 60’ and was on a decent run, but missed 2nd gear. Still managed a 9.9x @ 146 mph.

Pass 3: Tried to lean on the launch a little harder and see if there was more in it. The result? Another broken driver-side axle right off the line.

I'm still running G-Force Outlaws halfshafts, and right now I’m getting about three passes out of the driver-side outer stub before it decides it’s had enough. Not much street miles and no wheel hop whatsoever.

At this point, I’m still trying to figure out exactly what’s causing the failures. It could simply be that I’ve found the limit of the current outer stub design for my combination, or it could be something in my setup that’s contributing to the breakage.

I’m working with G-Force and digging into things like tire pressure, launch RPM, suspension settings, and overall drivetrain shock to see if there’s something I’m missing.

The good news is the car keeps showing there’s more in it. The bad news is I’m apparently testing the limits of the IRS one outer stub at a time. Big surprise right! No it's not solid rear axle time yet!

Posting the videos and a few pictures of the carnage. The search for a reliable IRS setup at this power level continues….

Greg and the little engine that could made it to the semi-finals but lost.

There no way we could have made it this far without the help from Ricardo!

Man, what an event! I can’t wait to come back to the next Braggin Rights!

Hopefully, I'll have my car ready for Stick Shift Street!

My hat goes off the the staff and organizers of this event 🙌

Not the way we wanted to take a win but Gregg had a buy due to Brent Nelson hurting his car during round 1.

That's how racing goes.

Pumped right now! 😤🔥

I’m at Street Car Bragging Rights supporting my buddy Greg Hoffmann with his F1A-94 ProCharged, TKM-built SBF Tuned by Josh@Horse Power Solutions, just punched his ticket into eliminations 💪🏽

He qualified #7 of 16 in Stick Shift Pro… and this class is stacked. But in stick shift racing, anything can happen at the line. 👀

Four solid qualifying rounds this week and Greg’s gone quicker every pass. Great people, great advice, and it’s paying off.

And the best part? There’s still more in that little SBF. 💪🏽

I know I could swap in an 8.8 or a 9” and go faster… like everyone else. 🙄

But I’m not ready to quit on this setup.
So yeah, go ahead and laugh, point, and keep the “told ya so’s” coming. I’m still showing up.

New outer hub is swapped and all ready for round 2 💪🏾

In the meantime… enjoy the view from behind. 😏

Welp… another driver-side axle. 😤
That makes 3 passes total: two soft launches just to grab data, then one semi-spicy hit off the 2-step.

I’ll own it, my Bang Shift Billy controller settings were a little too aggressive. Not enough slip, and I figured the new Outlaw axles would take it.
They did not. 🥴

Axle snapping clip in comments!

Good news: I’ve got a spare outer hub, so we’re not done yet.
We’ll patch it up and send it again next time. 💪🏾

I know it’s been a minute… life’s been out here throwing elbows. 😅

Back at the end of October I tried to sneak in a track day at MIR. First pass I told myself: “Don’t launch it. Just roll out.”
Yeah… that plan lasted about 0.2 seconds.

*The video is in the comments!

Result: driver-side half shaft 💥 🤬

Fast forward to now, I hit up G-Force and upgraded from my old Renegade axles to a fresh set of Outlaws, plus new hubs + bearings from on both sides.

Goal this time: keep the drivetrain in one piece and actually make some full pulls.

Let’s see if these parts are as tough as my right foot thinks it is. 😈

Big thanks to everyone who’s been helping me get it back together.

I'll try to update, but gymnastics meets and overall life takes priority these days!
