    That happened to a guy I knew in highschool that had a Vega all tubbed out that was literally thrown together.

    Dumb question, but what exactly happened? At first I was under the impression that something wasn't tightened properly, but then after reading Face's post I think it was a welding mistake???

    A tubbed car with what appears to be a stock leaf spring suspension (and the torque to break clean)? That pretty much says it all, no? Bound to happen, not a matter of if, but when.

    So if I understand correctly, it was a combination of a bad suspension and too much horsepower/torque?

    "Use violation"? WTF? It was a vid of a car who was taking off at a dragstrip and the bottom fell out from under it at takeoff.

    Like Treitz said, it was a video of a car taking off at a dragstrip and the rear axle (along with the wheels) fell off the car.
