You should go over and ask Kyle about that car's history. It's quite long and interesting.

Thanks guys, I few more shots from yesterday. More cars came in today, so we should be well over 300. Eliminations should start soon. Weather is absolutely perfect with temps in the low 70's.

be back later...

Its been a rough day guys. A couple of oil downs and a top end crash. We are still less the half way through firs round of pro. Here is a set of photos from the finish line. I missed the first hit on the wall as I turned away a heard the pickup hit the for the first time at the 1320 mark, they are racing a 1000 ft here. Driver is okay, the car is not so good.

The second set photos is a trans exploding in the burnout, it sounded like a bomb went off. as you can see the tunnel also has extensive damage.

What kind of transmission was it? You don’t see them exploding very often. Thankfully.

Looks most likely like a TH35O intermediate sprag failure causing a drum explosion.
TH 400 will fail the same way, but not as common.

OMG, was there a shield or blanket for protection?

Not sure and I think not required as it was not a 10.99 or quicker car.

Some first round finish line shots....
