shredding serpentine belts

I just had my pulley changed at a shop and I'm shredding serpentine belts like. I'm @ buttonwillow right now and lost the belt on the first lap. The belt made it all the way here from the bay area cruising "slightly" above the speed limit.

I have a Way 15% pulley and a napa 060535 belt combo.

any help would be great

Doesn't help you much now....most/many folks carry a spare on track/auto-x days....the tool is about $100 to make installing it easy....about a 15 minute job.
If the belt fails again/shows uneven wear, you my have an alighnment issue....

I would say you HAVE an alignment issue.
Would check belt tension assy.
