      so did the frontrunners blow due to locking the brakes? Or due to hitting the barrier? Perhaps better tires are in order?

      Man that sucks!

      Question 1: Why were you driving and not Frieburger?
      Question 2: Why didn't you pop the chute?

      Not criticizing at all, just curious.

      Chute wasn't operational.This was the first time the car was actually able to stretch its wings a little since i had only driven it Dave felt better that i drive it.The tire popped when we locked them up.

      Damn, that sucks! Luckily, it doesn't appear the paint job is super expensive to repair ;)

      Wow, this is a bad week for kick ass cars. If I had mine on the road I would probably be a little worried about now.

      Guessing Freiburger doesn't love the protouring look so much? He must have wanted a more "10.5 tire" drag car look?
