No more racing for the Red Rocket
pretty sure i just threw up in my mouth...... WOW.... Tom glad your ok, the car will be and easy fix, just more time and money. Like everyone else said, its just a car, its replaceable....
damn that sucks but like everyone else said atleast Tom is okay. My friend Garret did the same thing last weekend rented the No problem out and at the 1/8 mile the car just took a huge left straight into the wall. at about 157mph his vette was fubared and the 700cubic inch Gene Fulton motor was hurt as well. Anyways it sucks but no one was hurt. Im sure Tom and you guys will have the car back up and running soon. Sucks right before the shootout. I worked my *** off just to have motor issues and cant run .

Damn! Sorry to read this guys! As every one else has already said, the most important thing is that Tom walked away reasonably unharmed. I was really looking forward to seeing the car make some clean passes.
Just out of curiosity, can you even insure a car like that for dragstrip passes?

Apparently, in a rebuild that would make Vin Deisel from fast and furous proud...The guys from Stenod somehow pulled out the magic wand and are bringing this thing down to the lsx shootout as we speak, how they rebuilt it in 2 days.....im guessing lots of mexican labor

I'm sure you guys did more than throw some straight body panels on that thing.... I hope all considerations were taken in the name of safety before throwing Tom back in it after taking a shot like it did... best of luck to everyone in Memphis this weekend.

Tom made a nice clean, straight hit yesterday and we're all pretty relieved. We'll give everyone a lot more detail later on.
