Couldnt see the vid on my end. From all the text I get that Mike tried to drive through it, but could of lifted to save it a few times.
Hindsight is 20/20 could of done this/should of done this. Ive tried to drive through it a couple times myself.
But a stuck throttle is complete different issue. Didnt know that was the case.

listen to the run and tell me if it was stuck you can hear him lift right before it went up on 2 wheels.

Of all the posts, Max was the first to state a stuck throttle. Not sure if he meant Mikes car had a stuck throttle or just using it as a example that doesnt Apply here. 
yea for some reason they are trying to defend what is pretty clear.

Some reason?? Yes, as humans we dont like to admit mistakes. Call it Ego.
And for some reason?? We as humans like to point out other peoples mistakes.
I dont know whitch is worse or either is real bad.
But , glad the car is fixable and MikeC lives to race another day.

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

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.

A whole lot of opinions yet none will help the guy now. Why don't you guys just wish him luck instead of telling him what you would have done if you were ever able to get your car to the track and go as fast as his?

This whole situation is hard to take. He did a really weak assed burnout for that much hp which almost guarantees the car will launch badly with wheel spin? Next it's time to lift when You cross the centerline? Waste of a great car. This looks like that Bucky Hess "I ain't lifting" video? Macho is macho but this doesn't need to continue as examples of how to wreck a good Mopar. 
What exactly do YOU race and how fast does it go. That might make a difference in understanding the in depth analysis that you provided..........but I am seriously doubting it.
And for all you arm chair driving experts, once the car is in the marbles, for all intents and purposes it doesn't matter what the driver does. The car is going where it is going to go. From watching the video he was NOT sawing on the wheel, the car appears to launch a little right and then washed to the left, got in the marbles and he was just hanging on at that point...............but what do I know. My Vespa ain't very fast...........LOL!!!
