Hope he is ok, looked like a nice car 2. Sucks worse when people run there crap on the track knowing something is wrong with it.

Did he clip the other car? Kinda hard to tell since the other car kept driving.

He just clipped the left rear quarter of the other car. Glad he got off the gas when he did or they both wouldve ended up in the right wall instead of just him in the left wall.

Looked like he was in trouble at about the 60 foot mark when it started to walk around.

Then again it's easy for anyone to say what they WOULD have done.

Just to show how fast thing happen, I blew the tires off at the hit and when I got back on the throttle It got stupid in the 1st to second gear change. Mind you this car has a fulton 698 on 3 kit and this pass was on one kit(250 shot). the next pass after this one it went a 5.20 letting off 500' in the run.
