I remember seeing that on a Diamond P video years ago and just couldn't believe it, still can't. That was far worse than the recent John Force crash and yet they are still alive.

I went to the NHRA finals in pamona 2 weeks ago and seen a top fuel car blow an engine in a big way, one of the rears let go yet some how he managed to keep the thing straight and off the wall. They were all saying it's unbeliveable how it didn't end up like this loosing a tire at the top end of the track the way he did.
