Jay, Wouldn't a metallurgical analysis pinpoint if it was a stress crack, and determine if it was from stretch or side flex, or if it is an inherent flaw in the metal?

Yes Royce it would. 

Jay, after all the fun of Drag Week is done, if you want me to take a look at one of the rods and do a bit of 'science' on it, please let me know.  I'm always happy to help.

Thanks Joe, I appreciate the offer, and also the other work you've done on rockers for me.  I will send you that rod sometime after Drag Week - Jay

Just a thought....What if number five is just a litle bit
more stressed than the others. And the other 7 is just
a couple of rounds away from start cracking......

After 2016 Drag week is done, there is a few things we can do with accelerometers and installing the SOHC on the dyno (might work while still in the car to check out the rotational frequency theory.
