This was one of the outlaw bikes at the track yesterday. He isn't seriously hurt, just a little sore (as far as i've been told)

That was real time too. It was up and over so quick you wouldn't believe it.

The bike shot UP like a rocket too. Really amazing to watch

Ohhhhh- That's gotta suck so bad. I can't imagine he didn't know the bike had the power to do that. My guess is he caught a lot more traction than he is used to. I suppose every racer that gives his all knows something like that could happen. Still must be very hard to see the destruction.

I bet you he or his mec, will bring that nos in a little later on the next run. I won't bring it in on the low gear anymore because of this or spinning practically out of control! Its a touchy little thing, that nos...LOL I am glad he's alright for sure...........Hog

slo i was about 10 feet behind where that was filmed. he came out with a bruised thumb. the guy who owns that bike said he was going to part it out. thats the 2nd time its done that. had a pnumatic 2 stage. no throttle control until it decide you can have it. was something else to see.

Gives a whole new meaning to the "launch" part of drag racing.
I have to use a ramp to get air like that!
