Sounds like there was more racing on the streets of Everett (police chase) than there was at PR. Maybe they get the finals run Monday....or Tuesday...or 
GOOD LUCK George!!!

We sat right behind Jeff from the Ford Drag Team. At least one we finally got in our correct seats we did!

DAMN good racing!!
Ashlet hit the wall pretty good. You could tell she was dazed and confused. I thought John was going to have a heart attack!
I thought John had fast jack for sure till that engine let go! Man I have not seen one blow like that since Kenji blew the moon eyes car at about the same spot on the track in 95
Just glad the weather held out!

Ashley's crash was right in front of us, though we were on the opposite side. That was something to behold. I was sort of amazed that the wall held her in. Those things are a lot stronger than I gave them credit. A head on hit from a funny car packs quite a wallop. The wall moved, but it didn't give.

One report on the news said that her impact was the equivalent of 58g's. That's right not 5.8g's and that her head had the weight of 600lbs. Incredible that she walked away considering my favorite racer of all time (Dale Sr.) snapped his neck with a much lighter impact.

They didn't use anything like this when Sr. was racing..... Same goes for the Hans devices many are using now.

I was on THIS Very site when she hit the wall last night. I was researching a Head restraint system for Mark and I. I knew John had the very best state of the art system. I looked up to see it in action!
The Final Product is the "Hutchens Hybrid" system. I plan on buying them for Mark and I before the Next ORR

The Hutchens Hybrid is what Team Force uses now (and was using before Eric's death BTW), but I recommend hopefully trying them on in the car before you get any of them.
I had an R3 that I just sold (virtually the same as the Hutchens), but COULD NOT STAND IT. Plus getting out of the car FAST with it on (in case of say a Fire ) was nearly impossible.
I bought a HANS after selling the R3.....
To each his own, many swear by the R3 and Hutchens. Didn't work for me....
Just some advice....
