Speedway as in on dirt? How the hell are you snapping driveshafts then? Only reason a driveshaft would snap is when it recieves too much of a shock (ie, big launches on a surface with a good friction coefficient... think drag strip), no idea how you could be doing it on dirt. Unless you have the driveshafts at a rubbish angle and it's chewing them out. What is actually occuring? The c.v joint letting go or the shaft shearing?

Did remember hearing about issues with s2k driveshafts if the car was lowered...

id say the angle of the engine is too far pitched forwards or backwards....plus the possibility of being lowered too , this combo kills driveshafts quicksmart.
