Trax figures are inaccurate to say the least.

Simon

to this date i have done approx 60/70 drag runs and never broken a gear box yet, 1.6xx 60 foot times IIRC (its been around 3 years since i did one)

i have done a few clutches in my time, i think the lower the ratio gear box, the better then chance of it staying in one piece

120k miles on my gearbox now as well

some times recorded at an event I went to a few years ago:

tuner2005

I'm sure some of the drivers thought they would be quicker, but most don't know what they are doing and can be easily undone by lesser cars
