Default Any guesses?

Any guesses as to what broke? Clip is from Monday at the newly repaved CMP in Kershaw SC. They did a phenomenal job with the repaving. Really smooth and very fast. Great to be back there. I was having a great day up until the last run. It was a 4,3, 2 downshift into turn one. Both gearbox and engine hours are pretty high by my estimates. No indication that anything was about to go as it was running great.

The car is in good hands and I should know sometime next week what it is. Axle was my guess but it seemed a little more serious based on the noise it made when it happened. Visually the axles looked fine but know they can break where you can’t see it. I looked when car was on trailer so it was pretty hard to get a good look.

shred the cv, can't see it until you pull them and the bearings fall out
