little odd, how both cars got out of shape at around the same time.

damn, I am happy to hear that both are ok. That looked as bad as the Top Fuel wreck at Craftsman Nationals in St. Louis last year. Also, crazy the both loose it around the same time.

thats sucks to see two cars like that.

But thats what pro mod is all about

If you race that class and haven't had your foot to the floor with the car all the way sideways you aren't a pro mod racer yet.

pro mod drivers are a different breed, They really mean it when they say never lift

It's really crappy to see this happen. I feel very bad for Franky Taylor because he has got a $10,000 match race with Shannon Jenkins, Thomas Patterson, and Rickie Smith in two weeks. Supposedly his car is already at a chassis shop down here getting repaired so that I can be up and running for the race.... Hopefully I will see him out there.

edit- To give you an idea of how hard Franky's car hit the wall upside down. His A pillar bars on the cage were pushed backwards roughly four inches.

Woah that is bad, didn't look quite that bad on the vid but guess it was. Glad everyone came out ok, that is all that matters.
