It wasn't on the salt, but my brother did this in his El Camino at the top end
of a drag strip (~160mph).  Small block chevy broke the crank just in front of
the #7 rod.  What was left of the crank wedged into the block and locked
everything up.  I imagine the same could happen at the salt.

Does anybody know of an engine or driveline
failure on the salt that locks up
to the degree that the rear tires slide
until the driver gets to the clutch .
