I broke it again

I went down to Chandler Motorsports Park just east of Evansville IN yesterday for my first outing of the year and I'll be damned if I only got to make 1 pass before I broke.

First pass: I had the tire pressure around 16 and the car spun real hard off the line.

Second pass: I put the 28x9-15 Hoosiers at 14 and did my burnout and staged up. I dumped the clutch on the rev limiter at 4500 and it just went boom. Turns out I broke the tailshaft in the toploader and in the process took out the tail housing and hurt the yoke. Here's some pics.

Never seen a toploader broke there before.What kind of traction control/bars do you have?
