Mistakes happen, I'm just glad both drivers ended up unhurt and everyone's cars are fine. Scary stuff.
I saw the exact same thing, the front wheel was locked up on the video

Not even considering what transpired in this unfortunate event...

This type of racing has been going on too long as far as I'm concerned.

It is fairly easy to monitor each race and see too many ET's not match the MPH. I'm probably missing something, but that wasn't the way I was taught to race this class.

I have no issue running against anyone, even if they are trying to kill 20+ mph in the last 5' of the track on a 3.5" front tire.

My concern is lining my Wife up against one of them and having her get caught up in a similar case.

Something needs to happen soon, our classes are crashing too many beautiful cars and somebody is gonna get hurt.

Isn't excessive braking already illegal? What enforcement is there?
