Of course Frank drives like a old woman, no big burn outs, donuts or other boy racer moves... With sticky tires, four speed and a good high RPM clutch dump, I've seen more than one 8" with the pinion gear ripped out of the case... With automatic it isn't likely you'd ever damage one...
I seen more than one 9" come unglued too by dumping the clutch with sticky tires...even the aftermarket 9's. Just saying nothing's bullet proof when it comes to drag racing
