A Bangshift reader captured the aftermath of the grenaded transmission in Denny Parker's Super Bee following a hard launch at Arroyo Seco Raceway in New Mexico. Though Denny managed to remain miraculously unhurt, the force of the explosion perforated the transmission tunnel, spraying shrapnel and hot fluid into the passenger compartment. Might be time to invest in a scatter-shiled, as Brian Lohnes suggests! More pics below the jump, and see the entire series at Bangshift.

That is why you use a trans-blanket to prevent shit like that.

I have talked to some old drag racers that have had trannies explode. Not a fun experience.

Could you imagine what that would be like? Then adding up the costs later. New transmission, trans tunnel, floor boards, pants, boxers...
