Female Drag Racer Does It Right! Or Wrong.

http://www.break.com/index/female-drag-race-crash.html

Doesn't look like she lost traction. Smoke coming from the front of the car underneath righ before she rolled. Engine sieze?

Something deff. beyond her control happened. Looks like a massive failure, nothing she or anyone could have done. I give her props though.

looks like the engine failed and sprayed a fluid in front of the left rear tire causing her to spin left. not her fault, could happen to the best driver.

There was fluid under the car. Not her fault.

Thats Ellen Pavao from Canada. We raced with her a few times in nostalgia pro street. She is not only cool but a hel of a driver!!! Im not sure if that was a line lock failure, bearing failure, or something yall speculated but dont worry, she has ALL the talent needed to drive a car like that. Break.com can **** off.... gender didnt have crap to do with that event.

Maybe overfill on the tranny spewed out when she launched. Then it only hit the drivers rear tire which caused that one to spin and the other one to hook which caused that!!
