I've meet Bruce Allen many times and its sad to see this.
Must scary to see this after the loss of Lee Shepard in the 80's.

I saw this vid on another site, it is truly unbelievable. I can't believe Allen's car broke in half like that. Here is a link to some pics of the vid that my buddy sent me: http://www.realoldspower.com/p...=9309


found some more pics: http://www.competitionplus.com....html

Both O.K., Bruce was released today, and Koretsky is still in the hospital with a bruised heart.

If there was ever an accident like that, God forbid, in a Honda Hot Rod car, I don't think the outcome would be as good as in that accident. A real shame for both guys. That was basically a brand new car for Kenny. Hope he is doin well..Heard Ron Krisher has already offered Bruce Allen a car if he is capable of racing the last two races of the year.

im just glad Bruce was in the right lane, if he was in the left and went across like that, it would've gotten real ugly.

I didn't think a Pro Stock car could break apart like that. Last time I was at R-M's shop, they had 3 identical Bruce Allen pro stock cars there.

Just so you guys know, both of these guys were wearing a SFI 38.1 Head and Neck restraint system. This is one of the reasons we require it for 9.59 and quicker cars.
