Default Antron Brown's Top Fuel crash

Tragic news from the NHRA, One woman killed instantly when his flying rear tire struck a woman pushing someone in a wheelchair, also a woman seriously injured when flying debris hit her. Last report she is fighting for her life. Our prayers are out for all involved.

I started a thread on this in the lounge, made a mistake should have been here. Terrible for all involved. Looks like a track length "catch net" so to speak is in order to keep the flying debris out of the crowd.

That's what it looks like in the nitro motors after being run/heated up/dilluted, etc...
