Syclone running low 10´s in 2003(lost front wheel in 80 mph)

I found a movie of when I´m chasing the 9´s in 2003. The only thing that was holding me back that year was the weak 4L60E transmission. In the end of the film you can see when I lost my frontwheel in 80 mph! Not a fun experience, I can tell you.

Enjoy! P.S Back then I never thought that these trucks could go into the 8´s :)

nice runs, :tup: do you know what caused your wheel to come off at 80 mph?

I bought some new wheelstuds, and they were overheat-treated, so they snapped off, all five of them.

Well not exactly. I was only going 60 and my heim joint that replaces the upper ball joint in my dustin front end broke and that caused the axle to break but all my wheel studs were intact. It did suck though.
