last year there was a car that went into the netting and it did its job and the driver walked away, dont know why they failed this time.
I also do not understand why every series isnt running the system they do in nitro, to where if the engine blows, the system shuts off the fuel system and automatically deploys the chutes. saw it happen last night, its a great idea but needs to be in every class

yea it was wierd walkin around i got there 5 minutes after the crash everyone was kinda in a daze in a way. itd be alot of work and money but they could tear up the shutdown and elevate it. make it an uphill thing. i heard that he hit the sand at over 200mph so if thats true there's more to it then just the chutes not opening since the fuel cars can usually come close to stoppin them with just the brakes.
