Default Re: What caused V. Gaines to crash @ Carolina Nats?

According to NHRA officials, problems with the racing surface at zMax Dragway – coupled with a brief shower that drenched the track and sent spectators racing for cover – prompted them to call off competition for the day.

However, two drivers told the Observer that those problems, along with low track temperatures – in the high 80s, compared with 110-plus degrees earlier in the week – were responsible for driver Vieri “V” Gaines wrecking his Pro Stock car during an elimination-round race against Allen Johnson.

While Gaines walked away from the wreck, it caused an hour-long delay as workers attempted to correct the problems. The 20-minute shower then made that work moot and moved NHRA officials to consider alternatives.
