Dhra World Finals Ouch

Prev
While on one heck of a hook, Van Haisley of Haisley Machine sheared off most of the teeth in his drop-box transfer case and locked up the front end of his son's 1,500hp Modified pulling truck. The motor zinged straight to the moon, and the locked front axle caused him to get hit by the sled (note the rear wheels are up in the air!). Thankfully, nobody was hurt, and by some miracle, the truck was back pulling the next day, despite showing 7,498 rpm on the data logger. Van knew he was lucky this time and showed us some pieces from his last motor that hit 7,500 rpm. Ouch.
