another issue the track safety personnel had to deal with was that when they came down the track you couldn't see the car as it was engulfed in a cloud of smoke. There is another angle of that video that they showed today that showed how dangerously close that car could have been zipping back toward the starting line under full power. While tragic from a mechanical standpoint, there were alot of people very fortunate that the front end/left side of that car was disabled enough for it to stop.

On a lighter note I'd hate to be the one paying for the fuel cost/materials for the clean up crew at LVMS this weekend. Holy downtime!!
