          The strongest best rear ends in the world ... say the ads ... I’ve never used anything but winters and never had a single rear end problem. And but in the 90’s and early 2000’s I used to race every week. All of these company’s like tiger and bulldog all claim their stuff is stronger than kryptonite but yet I constantly see top guys DNF with broken rear ends and top guys always have fresh new stuff and they are still breaking lol

                I also took Owens for Taz and Florence. Took Roberts also considering no matter which series he went with they were all tracks he usually shows up for big shows. Shoulda went with Wells or Bailes like i initially planned

                  Rears don't normally break often so may want to switch

                      I took EPJ just because he seems to be more consistent so far and lucked out. Hate that for Owens tho.

                      Bloomer didnt do me any favors with his multiple pit stops, but better than Richards and Pierce.

                        Early 90's and 2000's you had 725 hp 600 ft lbs of torque on a good day, try over 910 or so and over 725 ft lbs of torque now days. It will make a difference in durability.

                        All you have to do is catch a hole just right, tire bounces, it lands catches traction and you snap axles or rear end gears. Quick changes no matter the brand are immune to it. A 9 inch Ford can break a pinion gear with as little as 500 hp, seen it, been there done it.

                        Your not breaking a rear end due to shear load, its load then slack then load is when they break, and how could HP and TQ not be a factor? that doesn't even make since.

                          Top fuel cars make 10,000 hp , the back tires make slightly more traction than an LM40 AND no one mistakes the starting line at a top fuel caliber venue as “ the black ice “ of Florence speedway. The HP is all relative , parts and pieces need to be engineered for their anticipated useage .... Yes we have more power now but we also have better materials and machinery also

                              Valvetrain most likely..couple points taller gear may have got him to the end...

                                Didn't waste any time pulling off after a couple puffs of smoke. Probably smart. May have lost the race but didn't do anymore damage to the engine.
