A lot of sparks from the rear axle when he is sliding sideways so maybe something in the rear broke. Those cars are really wicked to watch run. Super fast for how big they are and they all seem to launch perfect. Guess the folks building new cars these days know how to screw together a chassis. Not like the older cars which often look like a pretzel during launch.

I thought it might be the left front tire or left front suspension but the sparks from the rear during the slide made me think that the left rear tire went flat and the car was sliding on the rim. Maybe the tire spun on the rim and went flat?

Normally the drag pak cars are pretty tame off the line... Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death... 71 Swinger - slowly collecting dust/parts 66 Belv.
