The car that wrecked is pitted right across the road from us. Jeff was helping unload it off the wrecker and winched into his trailer. He seems fine except the car.

Your turn for some reporting now! Was it brakes?

BROWNSBURG, Ind. - 12:41 p.m. Racing is on hold at Lucas Oil Raceway Park, but not for the usual reason.


Colvert's '69 Mustang was clocked at 9.399 seconds and 141.62 mph at the finish line, but the car did not slow down as usual and went off the end of the track at a high enough speed that it went through the sand and into the multiple-net system. The momentum was so high that the car flipped upside down.

With the race version of manual transmissions, can you even downshift for engine braking to help slow you down?

I would assume no, especially with the new clutchless SS versions. I'm sure he tried

Clutchless will only stay in high gear IF HELD IN GEAR when let off gas,if not holding in gear as soon as let off throttle trans goes to neutral, no way to put back in gear once it's out until car comes to a stop. 1st 2nd 3rd sliders/face plate are ramped on coast side to kick it out of gear,the way they work are as example when you shift to second slider engages and first gear hits ramps on coast side and disengages 1st gear, anytime when in any in gear except high gear and you let throttle or take load off trans it will kick it out of gear,and can't put it back,you always have your hand on shifter holding in gear, when trans is trying to come out of gear, the shifter will ratchet back and forth,can hold in if going slow,but faster car is moving faster shifter ratchets.
That is way LIberty's act and as far I know all clutchless do the same thing.

Hate to see Jeff's car wrecked glad he is OK ,he just went for scary ride at Bowling Green @ National open in May.
