  • Holy crap!

    Read this....I'm waiting for the video and photo sequences!




    From Drag Race Cental"

    Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
    7735 Steve Gasparrelli 9 Mickey Ferro
    E1 0.064 No Time ****WINNER**** 0.069 5.593 257.92
    Qualified: #15 5.735 257.24 #2 5.570 258.62

    This turned ugly at the green, something apparently breaking on Gasparrelli's car. The car made an immediate, hard right turn, with what appeared to be fluid under the right rear tire. The car barely missed the Christmas tree, then rolled on its side and rolled into the opposite wall, facing the starting line. The car hit the wall with the underside of the chassis and the car's momentum almost flipped it over the wall. The impact unlatched the body and the throttle hung wide open as the car bounced along the top of the wall. The car then fell back on the track and spun back to the centerline about 200 foot from the starting line before coming to a stop, the engine screaming for a few seconds after that.

    After some anxious moments, Gasparrelli came out of the car and was walked over to the ambulance for a checkout.

    The ESPN cameras captured the entire sequence in super-slow-motion, so you will probably see it several times on the TV shows this weekend.


    Fortunately, Gasparrelli's wild ride took place in relatively slow motion and Ferro was way down the track before Gasparrelli's car crossed into his lane. He will have lane choice against Ray in round two.

                  The photographer in those pictures has some BALLS, in the first shot you can see him behind the rear bumper, he doesn't move, he doesn't stop shooting :o

                          FYI -- The photog who was nearly run over is a European guy shooting for someone across the pond.
