A friend and I went to this event. This crash happened about 10 minutes after we left.

I'll tell you what..... the driver in the right lane did a great job getting on the brakes and making it even more of a gnarley crash. That sucked. Almost as bad as watching Pass Time the other night and seeing the guy wreck his Mustang. I've seen that Mustang run in person in Valdosta. He WAS trying to be the first 10.5" car on Drag Radials in the 9's. He's been 10.0X's a few times. We saw him bust a 10.1X in Valdosta. The first car to wreck in Pass Time. I felt bad for the guy just b/c I've seen how fucking fast that car is in person and it's fucking scarry with the twin turbo's sticking out of the hood!! Anyone else see that episode?

Shit, when I saw the thread title, I only caught Milan and crash and though WTF! lol. Buddy had some bad luck that night I guess. He just lost it.

Looks like he just over corrected. The rear didn't appear to be loose.

There was a suspension part that broke on the car when it came down after the wheel lift. The car in the right lane was a Roush / Lucas oil sponsored vehicle.

Looks to me like the cost of HHP/BES motors just went up...

Tony hit the wall at this same event last year at this track. The car that rolled had a BES motor in it. Price should go down, because that guy needs a new one!!

The best thing in that video is that they were pulling him to the ambulance, which means that he did not want to get checked out. Been there, done that. It suck (and is embarrassing when your ok but they make you get checked out) all you really want to do is get the car back to the trailer and see what is bent. Aleast that's all i wanted to do, except that time they took me away on the gurny. lol
