and correct me if I am wrong... The orange markers in the center are the 60 foot, 330 foot, etc.. If thats the case I broke before the 330 foot.

Also tell me the 2 gears that are trashed. One is 3rd gear what is the other?

I only see damage to 3rd gear and 3rd on the cluster, can't tell if it's damage on the other gears or just the camera angle

Other gears look fine. Main cluster gear is 100% stripped, 3rd gear is 50/50. Just sucks as the cluster are around $800-900 new. Going to pull apart a couple trannines tonight and see how they look. That cluster was new when it went in. I never pulled the cover back off to inspect over the usage but wondering if it was stripping little by little from the gear banging.

Just cant get myself to go another route (manual wise).

Damn, not 100% sure but if I am correct that broke before the 330 marker. I bet I would have run at least a 4.0x @ the 330. Air was dense and 57 degrees. This will be one run that I will never forget.

I checked 2 trannies in the garage and both clusters and 3rd gears looked perfect. Going to send them in to liberty to be treated and check. Everything else looks fine. Kinda thought about just tossing one of them in and maybe get another race day in befor they close in 4 weeks.
