Daddy Dave crashes bad
Hate to see this but with the speeds being attained nowadays its sort of inevitable. They look out of control most of the pass to me. Pray he will be OK

Holy cow!!! I read about it and it was said he was not seriously injured (thank god) looking at the run, it's obvious that something in the front right side broke, or maybe there was a spot of oil.
When running that kind of power I would only do private track rentals, to many novoices running with cars that leak oil, or run with the A/C on.
Not knowing that it can cause other people's lives.
On a bad prepped track I know I've have spun tires in 3rd gear, in a buddies old 1989 fox body trying to get into the 14's for him, (probably 180rwhp at best) imagine going down with over 1000 rwhp.

I see people running their A/C all the time at local Test-N-Tune nights and you can see puddles of water in the staging lanes sometimes! 
I couldn't imagine running the kind of power that they do on a poorly prepped track or crappy road. I think this was a No Prep track event so I bet the surface sucked.
As for Daddy Dave, his wife posted that he has a serious concussion, a bruised lung, and plenty of bumps and bruises and that he still doesn't remember anything that happened. I'm glad he was able to walk away.

1000 horse power!!!! More like close to 3000 hp they claim. Hell one episode they ran Docs Blue Beast on Chiefs dyno, it made 1000 with NO NITROUS, then they ran the full 3 hits, I seem to remember it was close to 2500 hp

I was attending that event and I can tell you that track was horriable. Once you got out of the very small grove you were toast. The transition from the two different serfaces is what caused that wreck. You can even see Birdman get shaky up top and cut into Daves lane on the big end. A lot of people said no more to that track after that night. Honestly the worst track I have been to in a while.
