Real tough day for Erica Enders...
SONOMA, Calif. (July 31) -- Two-time and reigning Pro Stock champion Erica Enders has been hoping the breaks start turning her way in this transitional drag racing season, but when her engine broke in the water box just seconds before her opening-round pass, even she couldn't believe her misfortune.
"It's almost like 'what else could go wrong,' " said Enders, the most prolific female Pro Stock racer of all time. "It's just a tough, tough way to end the day ... before it even started.
"I fired up and rolled through the water box, and as I went to get the rpm up for the burnout, I heard a weird noise in the engine. I radioed the guys and they had me hold there for a minute at idle to see if it would clear itself up, but it was pretty obvious we had a problem. I had no choice; I had to shut it off."
AlexisDeJoria Racing...
Wow- Alexis hits the gas & the Patrón Camry makes a violent left turn & smacks hard into the wall. Alexis exits the car under her own power.
Update: Alexis was transported to a nearby hospital for precautionary evaluation. More updates to follow.
