Your worst nightmare...
Correction:
You REALLY need MPH, not ETs right now. ETs will come, but the MPH will tell us everything we need to know. I'm not telling you anything you don't know.
1. C/F driveshaft with safety loop
2. Bis Ply not drag radials
3. Reinforced axles
4. Quaife
5. Don't load up the converter, leave soft
6. Hammer the "I AM GOD" pedal at the 60ft mark
7. Take iPhone picture of dude driving '85 Fox Body with wheelie bars as you blow past him, with your seat massager on.
8. Get kicked out for going too fast without a roll cage or chute
9. Post 145+mph time slip
10. Listen to the Jakpro "MBWorld and V12Godspeed present, the EV12..." audio clip
Can't wait to see a full pass, bro...

I finally felt confident enough that I wanted to take the EV12 down the strip.
The staging lanes were so packed it took at least 20 minutes in line to hit the tree. IATs were in the 140's at idle by the time I got there, no ice and no cool down.
This is what happens when you stall the torque monster... I have a 3K stall on this ****, right at peak torque almost, she has to be putting north of 850rwtq at that point for her to pull this one off. Back to the drawing board...she has been parked for 2 weeks since incident, weather has been horrible we will get a modified drive shaft to hold her down. Stay posted.
I would like to thank Luis (loco 55), Mike (mertd93) and my brother Joel for taking the trip with me to the strip. Thanks to Luis for the Tow!
Here is a video, nothing special of the breakdown at launch, turbos came in too hard and drive shaft couldnt take it.
