Default Two S4s break down at One Lap of America

Not a good Day 2 in the OLOA race. One broke a halfshaft and the other fried a clutch. No coincidence that Day 2 is a Drag Race!!<ul><li><a href="http://www.speedvision.com/pub/articles/racing/rally_off_road/010507a.html">Speedvision coverage of One Lap</a></li></ul>

Default maybe not power but the removal of EDL for more consistent times!

i disabled the ABS and launched the car 1x it felt like getting shot out of cannon but...i had a check engine light and overtorque code on the ecu--its basically there to prevent breakage of the driveline- in this context!

I don't know. The S4 did well last year so more may be entered this year.

How do you put down enough power to break halfshaft without frying the clutch?
