Right before covid struck I brought my car the track. Street tires and a stick. My drive shaft is 3.5" in diameter, 1350 U joints and a 10 bolt(3.42). 2nd pass snapped an axle like a twig. Put the car on the trailer. I was kinda glad in a way because I had 12 bolt laying around for 30+ years and this gave me a reason to put it in. So, for the 12 bolt, I bought Strange axles, ring and pinion (3.73), I studded the caps with ARP studs, a Strange forged yoke, ARP wheel studs and a girdle. I go back to the track and this time on the second run, which was about the time track started getting really sticky, I broke the spider gears which happened to take out my new R&P. With all that being said, the next time I go to the track I will be rolling out. I tried to get hardened spider gears but nobody seems to have them in stock right now and no production in the foreseeable future.
