Thanks for sharing your take on the accident.

Mighty kind of you Jackee...

I see what your pointing out, but that looks pretty far from the edge of the tire. I say that because I always thought chunking most often (only?) happens on the edges of the tire. BTW, on my laptop that's clear as mud though... Now I wish I wouldn't have deleted it from the DVR...

I'll certainley bow to those "in the know". I'm no crew chief, nitro pilot or crew member so I'm sure there's plenty I won't ever know, but is it really common to have chunking that far from the edges?

Look at the big brain on Brent!
Just kidding bro- you are correct. I went back and watched it again.

Thank you. I thought you were really going to spank me over that one. You let me off pretty easy.

...........exactly what I thought after viewing the DVR over and over.

We're in the minority Lance. I saw so much crap going across the track but don't have a clue what it was. I do know where it came from though.

Exactly x 2...................My stuff is pretty good...........I know, I paid for it!!

I can actually see the foam block spitting out the reflector!!!!!!

It's hauling ASS..........but it seems to be the "Magic Bullet" in Dallas or the "Punch" that Cassuis Clay (Ali) Hit Sonny Liston with in Lewiston ME. around here.

WE SEE it yet it does not exist

WHATEVER

Re: Did Force and KB Crash?

Do you guys really expect NHRA to admit to the fact that the reflector caused Force's tire to fail?
Due to the fact that there is no PLC in existance that can be used to time the event in a single lane (without a reflector)- that would make the sport of drag racing a MORE dangerous sport.

Would you want your insurance underwriters to know that?

Kinda' what I believe.............

I'm the last guy you would name as a "Conspiracy Theorist" yet a heck of a lot of this smells fishy.

Other than the fact that Darrell and Eric have passed on that is probably all we will ever know.................

Racing is racing and accidents happen..........for a reason.........
