White/silver Calias turbo smoked the tyres out of the hole and kept his foot flat on it for about 80m's baking the tyres then it turned sideways, (maybe an axle broke!) it turned hard left from the right lane and it was never coming back with that much speed! hard hit on the front right and then it swang around and hit the back right hard aswell, rightoff for sure! Its sad to see this but some people will learn the hard way. What people need to understand is its not like the street they are use to driving on! if u blow the tyres off it or start to get out of shape coming out of the hole GET OFF THE LOUD PEDAL and correct it straight away and not try and power thru it like u are use to doing on the street! The surface has to much grip and it will most probley end in a bad way! we are seeing this way to often and nice cars are getting damaged! look at the orange Torana at heathcote the other week (STOOGE) Awesome car, but ended up in the wall and on its lid..... Im not saying im the worlds best drag racer or anything all im saying is most of these miss haps before the 330ft mark can be avoided by being sensable n not a hero, if it gets out of shape that early in the run ur never going to run ur best time are u? go back around and try again!! people need to take a little more care out there with there pride and joy! No one likes to see a nice car get smashed! Thats my vent done for 2012! lol

100% correct! thats why when you see most comp cars start go out of control they jump straight off the throttle, who cares if they ran a 14second pass there car is still in one piece and they can line up again. Racing on track and on the street 2 very different things.
