How many of you have crashed on the track??
That's easy. I seen a mid 12 second car lose a coolant hose and he slid in his own water, right into the wall. ANYTHING can happen.
I have had a crash once, but I missed some really close calls. Spun the tires at Moroso motorsports and hit the wall hard, just stayed with a bad run a little to long.........

I rubbed the wall once, not enough to damage the car or even the paint too much, only took a little paint off, but it could have been worse since I thought I was not going to stop in time and nail the wall. I never raced with street tires again...
I rolled my old 10.5 car 14 times past the 1/8 mile,my current car i've had to replace the whole frt end twice due to hitting the wall and put it in the sandbox once when the chute didnt come out
oh yeah,got a black eye when i rolled the first car=good roll cage

I've seen plenty of drag racing wrecks but thankfully I haven't been in any as of yet. But after seeing a bunch and how drivers walk away it makes me understand and be thankful for the safety requirements.

Luckily not me. I've seen a few bad ones, not a good feeling.
Closest I've been is my dad forgot to put the fuel cap on (mounted up front). Front end sat down and the car got all stupid and went for the wall. Had one on flirting with the bumper and stirring up dust towards the wall but I never felt like it was close to out of shape.
