Hello,

It's that new line up at an angle to compensate for the peg legg'er technique.

What really sucks is that he won the round. Val Torres in the other lane red lit.

Actually ,no one won as this was during qualifying,but it if was an elimination run he would have lost as crossing the center line or going out of bounds is a worst offense than the red lt.

Well, not quite. Can't win a time trial, can't win crossing the centerline either.

That happened to a good friend of mine at PRP in a front engine dragster. He always late arriving at the track and was rushing to make a time trial and left the overflow line out of the catch can. One tire wet one tire dry. Very bad combo. After that his nickname at the track was TREECLIMBER.

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Truck broke an axle at the hit. Could have been much worse if happened down track.

Could have been much worse where it was anyway...

Goes to show how things can go very wrong even on a 12 second ride.

I broke wheel studs on the line once, slick/wheel came off and bent the quarter panel up, I didn`t get airborne though. I was more upset about the bent quarter luckily a body man who races came up and said "don`t worry I can fix it" He did and thats why my one quarter is a slghtly different shade of gold. That truck hooks hard theres a picture of it from a week or so ago on DRC in Vegas with the wheels off the ground.
