[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 182267, member: 2189"] Hartley and TAD. Hey I kinda remember that since you mentioned it. Thanks for throwing that out. I guess what surprised me about the tire shake at speed near the top end (witnesses report incident began at 3/4 track)was that by this time the tire has grown to full circumference and with the oerwhelming energy of centrifugal force the probability of tire shake to me just seemed so remote. I know JFR has brought in the black box expert who developed the data systems recorder for the IRL (sorry can't remember the name) in the hopes he can look at the data and determine something to help. I've not played around with drag cars for about 25 years but last I remember the data system of choice was Racepak. Are they still around? But then again, last time I was in it, the fuel cars ran 2 speed lenco's, single fuel pump and not the super high volume ones either and single mag's. Man I'm gettin old! :wink: I still love those 1970's years especially when it comes to FC's and the SwampRat ruled. Ironically, I remember when the name of John Force had about as much presence as Joe Hartley! :lol: Here's an article on the recent March Meet from Bakersfield that IMO wets the drag racing whistle. [url=http://www.dragracingonline.com/raceresults/2007/ix_3-mm-1.html]::: Drag Racing Online ::: Bakersfield March Meet - 3/13/07[/url] Hey Moreluck, Checkout NHRA.COM for info and details on Eric. DragRacing Online had some photos of Eric's car after the crash and you could clearly see the the driver hoop completely intact and undamaged. The car didn't look that bad when compared to the condition Eric was in at the time. I guess out of respect they've pulled those photos but they do have some nice pics of Eric at the website.
