They should have removed the airbag after the first impact its of no use and during a multiple impact wreck it seems it could be a safety hazard.

The days of going north of 190 without a cage at the Texas Mile are over.
I was supposed to go out there with Javo (who shot that video) and Heffner but could not get away. Wild stuff. |

Looks like the T-Shirt stabilizing chute experiment failed. Looks like it got caught on the front bumper.

I was talking about before the wreck but now that you mention it during the wreck I'm sure the first thing going through his head was the air bag.

the shut was not long enough and kited the rear causing the accident. mid engine cars act very diffrent with a shute.
i keep hearing they are loosing the mile or something.. the goverment is claming Eminent Domain on it.. its one of the air ports they use for the standing mile.. talks are that the flordia or maxton mile will be the benchmark... their is talks about maxton redoing it and making it a better place along with better timing... all the one in miami needs is better timing equipment and it will be the hotspot.. allot of the guys test in miami and like the longer shut down area smoother road than both maxton and tx. again its all grapevine stuff.

my friend Lane's car didnt do as well as he hoped. the rear mounted turbo couldnt get enough air into and was only making 12 lbs of boost.

not a bad mph at all especially for only 12psi. it sux you always trying to keep air from creating drag but at the same time u need it cretin places.
