Default Re: Alcohol dragster?

We are sorry to hear of the death on Mr Niver.

Watching the video of the accident, the car folded
over on itself when it hit the netting and it didnt look
as bad as it was.


These things are happening way too much and
something HAS to be done,I just dont know what.





Its not just the Pro cars having problems.

We had a twin turbo Outlaw car have the parachute malfunction here at SAR
a few weeks ago.Car went through at a high 6.XX @ 210 plus and when the chutes
were deployed the cm cross member they attached to broke in half and the mounting
loops slid off of it. He went off the end and totaled the car,he suffered a compound
fracture to his ankle(foot still on the brake pedal trying to slow down we believe)and
other injuries.
