"A car blew its motor right before my run and aparently the track crew at the dragway didn't clean up the track properly. I might have hit a slick spot in the middle of third gear, and lost it. No injuries but the car is trashed. There may be some more vids that come in which I'll post, plus some pics of the extensive damage.

I feels like the car pulled hard right when I lost it. Please watch this vid and give me your impression of whether it looks like the right front wheel locked up/braked, causing the car to veer right"
Really strange. I don't know why it did that. Had to be a slick spot because it looked like after you lost control the car was able to bite pretty good and slow down. It could have been way worse. IMO

Corvettes and Ferrari's pretty much explode and fall apart, kinda like an INDY car. The car will fall to pieces, kind of absorbing most of the impact, but the shell that holds the driver is pretty safe. Don't believe me
