Last year in Phoenix, the same thing happened to Scott Kalitta, and the panel got caught in the injector, and stuck the throttle open. After it bounced off the wall a couple times, blew up, and caught fire, he ended up off in the desert pretty much wayy past the shut off area.

Martin - That is a VERY interesting idea! Send that one to NHRA!!!!!
I was there for that, he was going over 300 MPH way past the finishline. I thought he was headed for Tucson, I was stunned the car was still in one piece. Supposedly there are arroyos past the shutdown at Fireturd.

I think that is already a rule (which obviously isn't working), but my Rule Book is at the office - anyone?
