Parachute saved him. If that chute didn't pop when it did he would have been a goner.

It is jawdropping how much power drag cars make these days.
Small tire car too. At least he is ok and will be able to salvage a bunch of parts, that is one seriously, probably irreprably bent racecar. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What was his time? Unfortunately he crossed the stripe in the air so he didn't trigger the clock. I bet it was still in the 4's. I think he has gone 3.60 a procharged car just went 3.507 at over 210 mph in testing. Remember this is on a 315/60/15 drag radial as well. |

Is that chute deployed automatically when the car reaches a certain angle or was he just that fast? I assume the button is on the wheel.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is that chute deployed automatically when the car reaches a certain angle or was he just that fast? I assume the button is on the wheel. Technology in these cars is advancing so fast I can't say for sure if they have anything like an auto deploy or not. I know they usually have a large lever to the right of their head and any time there is an "oh shit" moment they can throw it pretty easy. If I took a guess he pulled that chute as soon as he knew he was in trouble. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: "Car doesn't 60' worth a shit" "Well, maybe if you kept the front tires on the ground..." There are a lot of things going on right now with this class that couldn't have been imagined a few years ago. A procharged combo just went 3.507 at over 210 mph in testing and claim they weren't really getting after it. They went 3.57 the hit before and knocked off .07 easily the next pass. No wheelie bars, 315/60/15 drag radials, over 200 mph and now in the 3.5x range with 3.4x a very real possibility this weekend. Crazy times. It's a golden era for drag racing so we should all enjoy it while it's here. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: but did he still win the race It was just testing, but it didn't look like he crossed center until after the finish line. It would be an interesting call if it was during eliminations. I don't know if the other guy had problems or lifted when he saw him in trouble. |

Not a total loss, he can log the flight time as PIC but he does need to clean up the takeoffs and landings...

Quote HistoryQuoted: Small budget? Those are 200k cars before the 100k engine is put in.Yes it's incredible how fast they run regardless of budget. For sure a $300,000 car with a pulling rig and spare parts to keep it going is a lot of money, but in terms of racing these are lower budget teams compared to pro stock, top fuel, etc. Heck the TV show guys have almost the budget of these guys. This was a steel body car and they think they can get it fixed in time to finish this weekends event. |
