Mike, hope you get it fixed soon.
First off, I wasn't in the drivers seat, so I won't comment on the driving. Second, a lot of fresh slicks don't require much if any smoke, which was there on the burnout. So the burnout IMHO was more than enough.

I already bought a parts car Sunday night day after the accident. Car is leaving for the body shop next week. All new paint and body . Will be ready for next season.
Awesome. No one has more to lose than the owner/driver. He decides when to hold em and when to fold em. Second guessing is just dumb.

what is there to second guess? what is your professional opinion of the video?

Are you serious???? Man I never wish that kind of run on anyone but if you ever have one and lose control please come here and tell us how it was trying to recover an out of control car that could have been caused by many things and maybe you had no way to recover it.... I'm sure you have blamed all of the wrecks on every track by the driver so please start up your organization to go out and save all racers from themselves. I'm sure even the pro ranks would welcome your proffessional insight

you can't be serious, why is it so hard to admit you made a mistake?

Ok, I'll bite:
My opinion as someone who has raced for 30 years, and watched drag racing for 40, I have aborted plenty of runs, and never crashed. I've seen this same accident a thousand times, from 12 second bracket cars to 4 second top fuel funny cars. We all have it beat into our heads from the first time we visit the track, that crossing the center line is BAD. Because of this everyone acts as though it's an unbreakable barrier, and limit themselves to half the track to try and save the car from destruction, that darn yellow paint stripe has sent so many cars back into their own lane's wall it's not even funny!
That is a quick, hard leaving car on a sketchy track. I'd guess the driver has had to drive it through the first 100 feet on many occasions, if he had driven it a car width into the other lane, he may have saved it, or he may be paying to fix a chevelle right now, hard to tell from the angle of the video.
Good luck with the repairs, Mike.

AMEN Brother!
You guys are ridiculous. You were not in that drivers seat. You have no idea what was going on, video or not. He has made plenty of 8 sec passes in a small tired car... All it takes is a split second for it to go wrong. It could happen to any of us.
Take it easy guys.. geez.

I sure don't see where his wheels are cranked excessively, or cranked at all......this is why these are called accidents.....where many small things just happen to line up perfectly to cause an Accident....
A "perfect" combination of......maybe not lined up just right, track issues that caused the car to move around, maybe car/tire issues.....and I am sure he has driven through this stuff many times.....just this time things didn't work out well.......at the 2 Second point it was out of his hands....
