I hate that happened to you. It is time to really start looking at how the front end is setup when your car is hooking that good. Hopefully you do not have too much damage. Look over the front end real good I would also check your transmission bell housing bolts that hold the transmission to the back of the block.

It is very hard to shift and not lift. It happens so fast and there are so many variables the main thing is the car went straight and no one was injured. When the Formula and I survived our 285 foot wheel stand I told myself then and there that would not happen again. On that pass it ran a 6.45 in the 1/8 and 10.18 out the back door what a ride. Have the video no need to repeat that ever again.

Good luck next time out and be safe!

It is one of our local customers and I am pretty sure all that happened is that he cracked the oil pan.

Not Gator but another local black T/A.

I am pretty sure that this is the first time the car has hooked like this so I don't think they had the front set where it needed to be. I am sure they will tighten the front end up quite a bit next time the car is out. The one thing I can say is that the BMR Suspension parts are really working for him!

I think that's the blinker. His hand probably came off of the steering wheel on impact and hit the blinker.

Awesome video, and awesome pics!

Sucks about the hard landing though.
