:confused: After watching several times, I think the throttle stuck and when the tires were gone, Eric managed to pull the throttle back little at a time. I'm not sure as to why ignition and fuel shut off wasn't applied. Very strange incident over all!! Mike Lewis:rolleyes:

Throttle stuck wide open off the line. He was trying to pull it back when he was knocked out after hitting the first wall. There are a few videos on you tube with a different view. the safety crew got there as fast as they could.

Yeah, it's crazy. It took them a whole 3 seconds from the initial impact to flip on their lights and start rolling. And that's just what we can see on the video, they were probably rolling a few seconds sooner. That's what you call a long time?

TOOOO much power for 9" tires and that hood scoop! WHAT!!! just how mach can they handle?????????

I hope there was something under the tire besides asphalt for his case, just say'in!

I was at this race and it was the worst race I have ever been too . The track was not in good shape at anytime . There were several other wreck as well as this one and the Garret turbo car went over the wall . Glad the driver is ok but very poor management at PSCA.

There was a rumor going around the track that the promoter ran out of funds for track prep and clean up . The more days the race went on the worst it got . I did not finish my last time run and left saturday afternoon .

No qualifying sheets , nobody new what was going on . I heard from several people working the event that this was their last

We should be thank full for what NHRA does for us , if you dont believe it just go to one of these races . At one point it took 4 hr's to run 54 car's
