Same scenario happened with my friends footbrake challenger, except rear gear broke setting off the chain of events. He unwrapped the floor from around his right ankle to get out of the car. This was pre internet and we had NO clue that this could even happen... Chuck Lofgren happened to be at the track racing that weekend and came by to check out the carnage and educated us on the whole deal. Needless to say, we’ve always run shields, blankets and billet front drums in our junk. We also chose to upgrade from the 8.75 in both of our cars. Not cheap to do, but decreases the odds of a failure like this.

Good news!! It’s a great time to change to a pro flight!
