Atco Top Dragster Crash????

All I know was I was standing on the starting line and when Tony made the burn-out the car did not sound healthy at all and a few of us kinda looked around at each other with the "Did you hear that" then he left the line and the car sounded horrible...popping and crackling all the way down the track and about 600 feet out a small line of white smoke started to come out of the motor and as he got down farther and farther the smoke became heavier and heavier and the car kinda turned to the right then made the hard left turn into Al Kenny's lane and he dissapeared and we just saw Al spinning across the top end. I talked to Al in the lanes cause he was in front of us for 1st round of S/G and he said he never saw the guy and and started to cruise around 1,000 foot cause he had already passed the guy when "Bam" he felt a jolt and he was going for a ride. Just glad that everyone is ok. They brought Tony's car back with a backhoe and the front was gone up till the drivers compartment and everything else looked like it stayed in tact except for the wing and the top of the cage which was cut off.
