DO NOT aim you car at the photographers..... I was about 10ft behind the video guy when this happened. I was talking to Chad Reynolds from BANG SHIFT.com A buddy of mine on the rail altered me to how this guy lined up....the crew guy behind him should have been beating on the side window..what a shame. http://www.youtube.com/user/FrankKunkel#p/u/4/40cVrr2SptA

I'd be willing to bet he's had a problem with the car jumping to the right on launch and thought he'd try something new.  What a shame, that was a neat racecar.

...Nope...the pass before he was pointed the other way and almost got the tree. He tried to do a burnout in neutral....major lack of experience...he's a newly licensed driver....that was his first drag car....WAY in over his head.

i was gonna say newby..
the burnout looked terrible..
and the drivers position in that willys...is prolly al little off..from a typical door car.
as far as view from inside and perspective..
no doubt someone should have flagged it down before it left..
id have like to see someone hit the kill switch sooner after the mayhem...fwiw..also.
