If you read through this thread, Terry..you'll see that the sketchy/negativity is coming from you.
We're all entitled to our opinions..but you have ragged on Ashley since the beginning.

It was a little different when Brandon had his crash because he was injured. I am sure if he did not get hurt people would have been bashing him.

thats exactly what i was thinking, this was similar to brandons rookie year mishap at e-town, we can only speculate but trying to pedal and control a 8,000 hp nitro car must be almost imposible. imo ashley is driving better every weekend and getting great on the job training. thank god shes ok. go get em at sonoma ashley!!!!!!!!!

Topic... Glad she's Ok, glad John didn't keel over holding his chest, and I agree that she did a pretty good job. But damn folks, 6 months, 6 years OR 6 decades doesn't prevent one of these things from getting out from underneath you.. Peddlin is like riding a bull, from what I've been told (by someone that did both
)... There are moments that everything smooths itself out, and other times when the hook isn't quite what was expected....I'm glad she's getting this out of her system while Dad is there to smack her on the back of the head and say "What were you thinking?"

I watched the incident yesterday and wondered why the rear tires still appeared to be under power during the first part of the spin after the body came off. After the body flipped backward and lifted the rear tires off of the ground there was a brief moment where she was still under power. And I do agree that she is more than qualified to drive the car, but there have been several incidents where she has stayed in it a little long. I know the only way to get better is to get more seat time. Thank God she is O.K.

I figured either the throttle was hung open or the impact/spin pressed her foot down on the pedal momentarily. Either way, a fuel motor is not going to instantly shut off in that situation. When we watch it in slow motion we get jaded because it looks like it takes all day, which everyone knows is not the case.

I could supply the cat to be named Richard out of my outside cat inventory and then Suzie could probably arrange DHL pickup at my house and delivery at the Sewell residence! Teri, just let me know color and size and I'll get one ready to go so you can name it Richard for Ray!

Great catch Paul, it sure is. I'm a huge Joe Amato fan from back in the day.

O.K., EVERYONE get's themselve's in trouble... Does'nt matter how you got there, you're in it... It's what you do during and after, that make my way of thinking work for me...Topic...

Looked like Dean or Del were in that car, and Ashley popped out... We've all seen the, just along for the ride incident's... For the most part, this was one... But shutting down all system's and activating other's, as the car is still spinning and slidding is thinking, processing, and acting in a controlled manner...
Now if she had reached up for the chute handle's, I may question my thinking, button on the wheel?? my bad, but she was aware the lever's were no longer there... That would be for anyone thinking it was all instinct...
Anyone think she had her eye's closed the entire time, screaming mommy ala Paris, and was just lucky to walk away??
Great Job Ashley... Controlled panic... That will save your a$$, if nothing else...
Usually does'nt feel like that big a deal, until......................... ....... ...

oh yeah, you're toast now for sure...
Staying as far upwind from me as possible, is usually the better route...
