Despite our petty differences, glad to see your ok. You never want to see that happen to anyone cause you never know when it could be you. I was trying to make it out there to watch cause I'm here in san antonio for my brothers graduation and we didn't make it in till 3am. But glad your ok.

i dont think aluminum wheels would spark up like that. sorry for your loss, but most important is that your ok and dont let this discourage you. keep at it.
i have seen many times the inner wheel well will cut or delaminate the tires under decel when rubbing on the inside of the fender well. check that out.
we sufered the same loss with our old car, we know how it feels. sux.
the sparks are from the dp i would believe these cars are so front heavy letting off while a tire goes flat there is no way to control that car.

Man glad your ok Max, that **** looked pretty damn scary. I'm surprise that the track guys let you run without a window net? Safety so uber important... I hope you feel better and get back out there.

i spun the all motor car out in vegas years ago and the sparks thats came off the car were from the traction bar my slick came off the rim half way any turns out i broke 2 axels on the same pass. one broke compleatly and the other broke and locked up. since that day i have never ran a spool.
