Wow, check out that NHRA footage, and at :22 seconds in, you can see Bruce Allen's car is literally cut in half, LENGTHWISE, right through the interior. Unbelievable... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Kenny Bräcks almost fatal crash. It it a fence pole and it shattered the car. Luckily the cockpit section is very strong and were kept intact.

Kenny is now recovered from the severe back injuries he got in the crash He is racing occasionally in Sweden and is seen on TV-shows now and then.

Rob, I'm glad to see those &quot;kill switches&quot; NHRA requires us to have worked so well for that guy. That would have been my first move as a Safety guy. Looks like it finally ran out of fuel &amp; rubber....

I guess a track official tried getting to the kill switch early on but got hit in the head with shrapnel from the tire/wheel, so that's why it eventually ran out of fuel...
