I participated in a local race here in Tulsa (Mods vs Rods) and this was the first pass ever in this car for me.
I did some modifications to my go pro where i could wire up an external mic and put it right next to the Eaton.
It worked great and thats how I was able to hear the catastrophe unfold , Inside the car it just died and wasnt making much noise at all, As soon as it lost power I went to neutral and coasted to the end.
Once i popped the hood i noticed all the belts had hopped off the pulleys, and when i went to reinstall the 8 rib setup I could wobble the crank pulley side to side by hand ! Im assuming the 6# lower went out of balance and it snapped the front end of the crankshaft... Im hoping for the best but most likely looking at rebuilding an entire long block.
Its sad to post a video like this but its time to come back and make it stronger and faster.
