It is an interesting read, but really has nothing to do with how he died. No level of sobriety or intoxication would have made a difference when that engine came apart.
I still say that the NHRA has to stop this short track **** and start making moves to actually take power away and reduce the strain on the engine internals. Start taking away blower and nitro. The drop in power will not effect the way they sound or feel when they rip by, et's will only be marginally effected, and the blower explosions that have injured and killed so many drivers over the years will be greatly reduced.
