Unprepared outlaw track, spin the tires unload the suspension and then get back in it. Recipe for disaster. Glad he wasn't hurt and I hope he learns a lesson from it. The real moral of the story is, don't get back on it, it's already done, you ain't John Force.

If that track had a guardrail, do you think he would have been better off or worse off?

Short wheelbase. High center of gravity. Twin hair dryers. Still in the throttle sideways in the other lane. Ugly. Could have been worse. Could have been spectators or other people where that rearend finally landed.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

The real moral of the story is, don't get back on it, it's already done, you ain't John Force. I am not sure the wall would have made this better? I saw a good after picture of the core. While it was torn up it was very intact, he built himself a safe race car and it probably saved his life.

Watching vids on youtube, that track was very sketchy... the track before there were cracks with grass growing in the lanes. I don't know who picks these tracks for this event.

Kearny and Julesburg both have nostalgia events coming up. I had planned on at least attending Kearny but after seeing the track with the grass growing in the right lane and boards not working at the big end, I'm gonna pass!

1320 Video covers this event. They have covered DragWeek since 2006. They had at least six people covering this event. Not odd at all to those that know Kyles work. Jerico,Hemi Joel etc know his work. That splains THAT ! ... PERISH my other thought!
