The in car cam looks like after he corrected he turned back to the left but that thing was just sliding.I just ran @ cecil sat. It hooks but is a bit tricky with the new surface.What I got out it was @ least the other driver didnt get taken out by that Pretty much it. Here's another view, showing the car landing out of the groove and then hooking right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=vZ5adzoqxxs Free advice and worth every penny...

He is also the president of Aeromotive fuel systems and has been involved with drag racing for many years. He posted on YB when they posted the vid there. He admitted his mistake and did not seem real concerned about it. His car, his money, no big deal to him. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

They said it something like car # 46 ? I dont know how many they built anyway. I noticed the track looked like Cecil and of course it is. I had stopped at the body shop to see a friends Camaro they are working on . Its a shame that happened to that car but I agree he should have lifted. There is always another race. Ron

It's not like it was the finals at the Nationals or some thing. Lucky he for his safety. He can now order #47 off the line. I've lifted a few times once my car got drunk and out of the groove, and my car only lifts the front end with a photo shopped out car jack underneath. LOL Truly, Its like going from molten lava to Ice skating ring with no banister.

What kind of axles are you breaking? 7473210-Launch5-22-11.jpg (52 downloads) http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p314/cudadon/BKD6_09_10_191A.jpg
