Nitrous bottle held in with zipties? 
Crazy. I always forget how fast drag racers are going until they wreck and then my mind boggles at all the kinetic energy flinging parts around... |

Quote HistoryQuoted:

Nitrous bottles flying around inside the car, reportedly seat belt tabs & seat mount broke, front of his helmet was busted by a serious impact. There's even talk that a suspension failure set the whole event in motion. He's damn lucky that the wreck didn't take place at the top end. Hope to see him back up and running soon! |

Damn, he just finished the car.
Looks like he got out of the groove (What little was there at a no prep) on the right side, and lost it. Off to yellowbullet!!! |

at end of video racers that were left took $1000 each from the purse and are giving the rest to Dave to float him till he gets healthy. Once again, racing > all other sports.

If it had happened 900 or 1000 feet out, the results could have been much worse... |

Whoever welded that seat belt tab in needs kicked in the dick. The seat broke off the main hoop also.
This is why you don't let some dipshit that can't weld build your cage. Car was unsafe before it even went down the track. The bottle flying away like a bullet was dumb also. I hate to see people get hurt, but stupid games and the prizes to be won.

If not, then I'll build a milder motor with a controller and time ramp up the juice as track conditions allow. Also, being as $ seems to be basically no issue and it's run what you brung, I'd be looking into some type of traction control. Oh and 1 last thing... get some Goodyears on the damned thing.

Yard sale near lane! Wish a speedy recovery for Dave.
Interesting talk on the seatbelt attachment points failing. Most cars on the show have funny car cages so I would assume there was some thought in not only the design but the execution. |
