Stock ones I'm assuming. I thought the new ones were rated to 500 HP?

I stripped the splines out of the custom hub on my upgraded shafts and then the hub snapped off at the bearing due to the play in the hub after the splines stripped out. I don't think it's representative of the axles just something that comes from running prototype axles. I'll be contacting them today to send off the parts and review the situation.
For those that don't know, I'm running the prototype Stage III axles from driveshaftshop.com and so far as I'm aware they are the only set in use or made for a contour at this point.
Gingerman was definitely a blast. Just ask I-dom-in-8 who was riding with me.

I have to agree, it was awesome! First time on a track for me and just an all around blast. J-Lab, you're Mystique is tight as heck, I seriously think it was one of the nicest cars at SZ, and could Buckshot's luck get any worse? Great time, must do it again next year.
