[BB71Challenger]

I caught it on speed channel I think. If it is the wreck I saw it looked bad [smilie=f:

 

[Da-ho]

I saw it on espn, pretty scary looking too. Ive seen spectators injured before at the fall nationals in Kent Washington when Garlits got a bad tire shake and threw parts into the stands right directly across from where we were seated and I guess part of the reason we watch races is because of the danger factor. Im glad he was able to climb into a backup chassis and continue but he very well could have died. Thank goodness for rollbars.:helpme:

Yep, saw it. Theyre blaming the bumpy tracks are fatiging the chassis's much faster than before. Kallita was said to be doing some welding on his rail too because of some cracking going on.
Remember, those things bow upward 8 - 10 inchs in the middle during launch to half track.[smilie=f:
