Track results with the T-5!!!

[Jason]

Well, the result was my qtr mile time was improved by more than a full second! I didnt' quite make it into the 15's, but it has it in her if I could get a decent launch without the "one tire fire". Best time was a 16.07@85mph. I improved each pass, but on the last one, the one that was going to be a high 15, I broke the rear end! I blew out the spider gears I guess from too many one tire burn outs lol. I'm going to take it apart tomorrow and see whats left. I think I should be able to weld it up for the good ole' Lincoln locker. With both tires doing some work I should be able to get off the line much better and get into the 15s. I know welding the rear end isn't the best, but many people have done it, and you just have to be aware when driving that the rear is always locked. Maybe when I find one, I'll bolt in a nice limited slip rear end, but in the mean time, the diff is going to be junk anyway, at least welded up I'll be able to keep pounding it around untill I get something better to drop in.

I've got some videos I'll post up shortly. Alex and I both went, and the Volvos were a big crowd pleaser. He toasted what was left of his clutch. Good thing we trailered both cars to the track!
