I've raced at Cecil all season long from June where it was 102 degrees to November where it was 44 degrees. Track prep is as good as you'll find anywhere.

This car got into trouble as during the wheelie it drifted to the centerline out of the groove and he got back into the throttle which is what sent him into the wall. The groove at Cecil isn't terribly wide and the center portion is bare concrete. You HAVE to stay in the groove. You get out of the groove and you will be in trouble.

My own car I run a 275 DOT drag radial on a stock suspension car that runs 5 teens in the 1/8 mile with a best 60' of 1.12 naturally aspirated. It's plenty of tire for the job, but proper placement of the car on the track is critical.

MIR you could get away with what this driver did, but you don't have quite as much room for error at Cecil. Had he lifted when the front end came down the crash wouldn't have happened.

Sad to see a brand new car get wrecked like it did.

Your not likely to get away with turning the steering wheel that far, while it is standing up like that, anywhere. He really had it cranked around. I do feel sorry for him. I learned, back in the '70s with my C/SM car, to bury my left elbow in the arm rest while holding the wheel. That sure helped me stop moving it while it's up.

Yes, you must embrace the air....be one with the sky....and squeel like a little girl when it really gets up there. Allegedly.

Probably due to the fact that the video currently has a direct link on the MSN home page.

Looks like you guys already dropped them over $200 in the last couple of days.
