Billy,

The guru that you are, you were right on! The driver's side axle tube twisted in the housing. "Christine" will not be dancing anymore this year. The rear end is coming out and going to be completely rebuilt. I guess I will take the '96 Caprice LT 1 down to Thunder Valley and out to Oahe and run for a street trophy during the Midwest Class Racers show at both tracks coming up.

At least I will get to run something! If it goes down the track, it will break, not a matter of if, but when!
