Ok good advice.
I'm not spending money on stock crap if it could do this again.
Cost me a podium spot.

Bed side supports bent back to original ish position. And gussets added.

Removing leaf springs from the rear pack was a good idea in terms of gaining extra suspension droop out.
But when you land with your accelerator on the floor board, the following damage can be expected!

drive shaft yoke @ rear axle is cracked in half
Bent both leaf packs.
Lower shock mount bent after it made contact with shock eye (ruff stuff shock mounts are 1/4" thick)
Transmission mount broken

I'm guessing loss of clutch pedal during race is due to the neutral safety switch getting jammed up. It slides on the clutch rod and is the only reasonable explanation I can find.

Would also explain the random no start issue.

Getting removed and bypassed.

looks like the 8.8 swap is crushing the drive shaft and bottoming it out.

Interesting concept. Didn't think of that.
My perches have multiple holes. Maybe moving the axle back isn't a bad idea?

Didn't remember discussing with you.
I had determine it was fine before first race in WV.
But I didn't get nearly the same amount of track time there as in batavia.

I didn't consider axle position an issue because the axle wrap issue seemed way more apparent.
