Too Much Torque – Rear Tire Falls off, 35 Spline Axle Broke Split Like Toothpick

When it comes to drag racing, even when you make sure that all of your nuts and bolts are nice and tight and you have top of the line parts, stuff happens.

This time, we join in as a Chevrolet Nova just simply has some bad luck as the car launches hard and does some big time damage to the rear end.

Not only does the car sheer its 35 spline axle, but it also ends up losing the rear tire entirely! It was really a nutty sight to watch unfold on the track at Cecil County Dragway during this test and tune session.

Check out the video below as captured by zlumlord videos and tell us what you think of this wild happening. It isn’t every day that you see cars losing parts like this!
