What happened to scott kalitta ?
Hmmm... Time for storm cellar- style trap doors that open left and right as opposed to flying off??
Last year in Phoenix, the same thing happened to Scott Kalitta, and the panel got caught in the injector, and stuck the throttle open. After it bounced off the wall a couple times, blew up, and caught fire, he ended up off in the desert pretty much wayy past the shut off area.
or at least a tether of some sort... limiting how far it can go back...
Martin - That is a VERY interesting idea! Send that one to NHRA!!!!!
I think that is already a rule (which obviously isn't working), but my Rule Book is at the office - anyone?
