Dave; Only us older guys get the Dean Martin question.
Brandon and his Dad will be back not sure how long it will take but we have not seen the last of Brandon behind the wheel of a Top Alcohol Dragster. I have watched them for the better part of 3 years put there program together its ashame what happened. Brandon deserves to be out there.. I am thankful both drivers came out ok had to be one of the worst crashes I have seen at any of the races I have been too.
Thank god I am not packing or loading the truck. This weather is nuts around here. I am drinking a beer as they load my stuff.

X2. Why do people think the track has anything to do with these incidents? So hard to fix stupid.
Tires that were not the correct type and construction had a major factor.

in advent of d. russell and m. niver accidents, it is lucky either driver
did not suffer injury from debris entering cockpit.
drag racing is a speed and et contest with absolutely no scenario
why two cars ever need to touch much less smash into each other.
nhra spec'd cockpit design may have saved extremity(leg) injury here?

Welllllllllllll.........yes. I filmed this low from the rear. Every vid out there is really deceiving. I will not at all argue tire issues, however, I never saw one come apart like Monroe's did. Everthing happened very quick. I can PROVE this.....that neither driver nor track was culpable. I just need help posting my video. eventually people will see......

Rex, what kind of help do you need with your vid? I'll try to help you out.
I didnt get a close enough look at the replay, but had that other car hit Monroe in the Driver's Compartment, he may needed an ambulance! That is why he is lucky!

I......think, it's a mini dvr tape. I need to get it out of my mustang's trunk to be sure. I've had it for about 5 years, never used it all that much. I will get back tomorrow.

Bad decision??? Try Assanine, nearly killing himself! What a total disregard for Safety...

Almost killing himself is one thing.....Almost killing the guy in the other lane takes it to another level.

The thing is, watching the tape over and over, is that the right tire split in complete half perpendicular to rotation right in the lights.
I don't have terrific resolution with the camera, but I think the debris from the right tire exploding could have taken out the left.
I think possibly the rapid decell could have damaged the tire (positive to negative stress), but hey, don't throw me under the bus.....I'm not an ingeneeeeer.....
