We'll see if I get a chance to use it again this weekend when I go back for some testing.
Btw, if you use the NHRA correction factors for DA, this little stock car is actually running 11.5x

The key with tricking the LC seems to be a slowish release of the clutch. Too fast and it can be too harsh and activate LC. See page 21 or so if you haven't for the LC trick...I don't see if done just right how this could break an axle as it's actually a relatively easy launch.
