Wilkerson's crash

[SoCal Racer]

I thought maybe they should take the car over to the RFC tent and exorcise the "turn right at the hit" demon.

Regarding your signature, I wouldn't want to drink methanol, lol. Ethanol, yes, but I'd rather not have it in my gasoline.

Loss of traction. The end.

I don't think its that simple Paul. It was identical to the Topeka crash, where only one tire lost traction. VERY WEIRD!

No matter what happend first or last, lack of traction is what the end result was. Plus that post was way before the Denver crash.

Lee, you must realize just how ridiculous that post was?

Yeah, I know. LOL ... MY BAD!!!

I didn't even look at the date. Sorry about that

Even weirder, the left tire loses traction, and it drives right.

Well looks like Tim is just doing fine. 1st. Pass on new car and he ran a 3.984.

Tough field when you run 3.95 and don't even get in the top half...

As for the quick right turn, I've seen A/Fuel cars with bad header gaskets do the same thing, only they're longer so it just smokes the tire and drifts a little instead of making a hard turn. The unburned nitro at idle just drips out between the head and header flange, which happens to be right inline with the tire. It doesn't take much to get these cars stupid and controllable, especially in the first 30 feet.

kinda similar to what's happened lately, no?
