    The link worked for me. We went to the eliminations on Sunday, but never saw that video. It's a testament to the safety equipment on those cars that nobody was killed.
     
  4. The Texas NHRA one?

    The video's on NHRA.com , just click on the Bruce Allen story on the home page.

    It was a scary clip.

    my dad told me about it the other day, first time seeing the vid. man, that's frickin amazing that no one got killed, especially Bruce Allen. my dad said that Bruce's engine got trapped in the other guy's parachute.

    Ouch!!!

    I read that Koretsky has a bruised heart and some broken bones. He's home but says he's going back to the doctor to get checked out again, feels that there are more injuries that haven't been detected yet. Anybody heard about Allen other than he was out of the hosiptal?

    Make sure your belts are tight ya'll. God bless 'em both.

    I was there Friday night and saw it happen along with Monkey. We just looked at each other in disbelief when it happen and it kinda just makes you go numb when you see somthing that violent! Like Buzzard said its a testement to the way those cars are built and also the emergency crew at the track. You forget how fast things can go wrong.

  9. That car just exploded. You wonder where all that shrapnel ended up. Nothing like being hit in the teeth with a bolt.
     
  10. That was about the roughest looking wreck I've ever seen. I'm amazed that they both weren't killed. Yikes.

    I think brutal is an understatement in the extreme.

    That's what I heard too, sounds like it might be kinda serious, I dunno. Hope they're ok.
