Very sad how easy it is to have something go wrong and lose your life like that.

there was a run off, but he's going 300mph with no brakes, so obviously it's going to look bad.

I think by the time he hit the wall he'd either be unconscious or already dead. When those engines go, they go. I've seen vids of engines just tearing themselves apart on the launch. Top Fuellers have balls of steel.

Tha is such a tragedy but every drag racer that has that sort of power must know they are risking their life each time they do it so its just really unfortunate

Good place to put a bend

I'm sure he died doing what he loved and I'm even more sure he knew the risks involved.

Can't help feel that could've been survivable if the wall wasn't there.

Highly likely to be the case.

Holy F**K, that impact with the wall was sickening
RIP
