Battle of the Imports in Orlando
Well
It was packed.. traction sucked for the boosted cars
lots of oil downs
And a brand new car..A work of art
crashed badly!
The only thing that saved the driver
was the fact the car was VERY pro built chassis wise
if it was just some ghetto 12 point cage = RIP
They had to use the "jaws of life" to extract him
(cut roof and cage to get him out safely)

The track suck that day for sure but the driver should have lifted the 1st time the car got loose but he tried to get back on it and that's when the **** really got out of control and the rest is history. I stopped counting after the 10th roll and started praying for him. At least he's ok and let's hope for a speedy recovery for him.
Have not seen a crash like that in dragracing in a very long time. Actually the last time I saw something like that was at the very same track when pro 5.0 racer Grebeck lost his life there a couple of years ago.

Yep same car and the intercooler fooled me too!
There's a video at www.agracingphoto.com of the car at Lakeland's 1/8 mile drag strip making a pass.
