Default Broke the rear!

Went to the track to do some tuning and the wheel hop broke 3 teeth off the ring gear and poked a hole in the cover. The posi unit seems fine I and already picked up a new set of gears from Thunder so hopefully will be back in action this weekend.

That sucks. Glad to hear you have a positive mind about it's quick recovery.
Did it place a hole in that aftermarket cover you have??
Who makes that cover? That's one of them that ties the main caps together right?
