http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=291263#indextopPro Stock racer V.Gaines was uninjured in a high-speed racing incident during the first round of eliminations. Gaines' Dodge Dart went out of control and crashed near the finish line. Gaines, who exited the car under his own power, was examined and released at the scene by NHRA emergency services officials. "It happened so fast, I was unable to catch it," Gaines said. "I'm justy sick that we ruined a very good race car. We'll come back and rebound." Around 3 p.m., about an hour into the cleanup and investigation following V. Gaines' accident, rain began falling. The rest of today's racing has been postponed.

V's window net was missing when he got stopped.
Curious what was smoldering on the roof of V's car when it got stopped and what the air raid siren in the background was about.

V. Gaines will be allowed to use a replacement car for the continuation of eliminations.
Probably dragging the old Avenger out of storage ...

It really sucks that they wont start pro stock all over again... all the pro stocks were skating around.. and when listening to Pruet talking about not having funds at this time to head out there that sucks for her team.. but she said they arent done YET
