[Tigers] Dana 44 Question

[Thomas Witt]

If your talking about a salt flats car it probably isn't an issue.  It's not 
like your dropping the clutch at 8,000 RPM. Nor are the tires designed to 
grip tenaciously on an asphalt track.  I'd think wind resistance at speed 
would produce the highest load.  And even there traction on the salt would 
probably fail long before the rear end would. Of course if you have another 
purpose in mine.. .
