Amazing there were only minor injuries. You can see something jetting around in a spiral after the impact.

That does not seem possible. Maybe the drag racers can explain. The speed should not have been high enough at that point. Dan

The way the car lifted was crazy!! Was it a lack of downforce or was it just a freak thing that happened? Hard to say, but I'm glad to hear the driver survived.
