Off brand here, but same applies to mopars.....check out the converter flying through the floor and through the windshield
notice nitrous bottle in back, powerglide trans,
That is no powerglide................
I seen this posted on FB this morning. The pics I saw didnt specify where it was actually at.
Yikes ,most guys hate the tech guy at the track (I’m that guy) there’s a reason why NHRA. Makes these rules and we in Force them were not trying to be dicks were trying to keep you and everyone safe as possible.
I saw these photos yesterday. My guess is that flexplate is not a heavy duty SFI approved piece. Maybe it tore away from the crank flange first, starting a massive vibration that broke apart the case, then allowing the converter to come out. It's amazing how much damage occurs when something rotating with a lot of weight decides it has had enough.
I hope that dude is ok.
Probably a low buck flex plate to boot, coming from somewhere on the far side of the Pacific. Amazing how guys spend kilo bucks on engines to make High Power, and yet they cheap out from the bell housing back.Bobzilla I noticed the same thing after looking at the last picture a second time. That is just a standard GM flex plate and flex it did! I couldn't tell you how many of those I have replaced in just a factory street car or truck over the years. They are always cracked at the crankshaft flange. I wonder how many passes he got before it let loose?
