Guess no one ever told Jay to cross your arms and grab hold of the shoulder belts and hang on in a roll over. Dudes lucky his arm didn't fly out the window and get crushed.

Would have been better off keeping her straight, locking 'em up and hitting the wall squarely head on (or maybe stopping in time) than trying and failing to make the turn.

Thats why we have to wear arm restraints or have window nets in our racecars.

That whole stunt was a funeral waiting to happen.
Did you notice how close he came to hitting those barriers when he set the front end down?
He couldnt have seen them during the wheelie.
I'll bet he didnt even realize they were there until he flew by them at over 100 by just a few feet.

Seems odd he tried to turn a dragster at that speed regardless of how it was bouncing...

At 1250HP, I doubt any of that was feasible... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

First thing I noticed ,his arms were flailing, told my wife that's the first thing in a crash, let go of the wheel and grab your harness.
