It’s sad that I’m not even at the race and I’m posting some updates. This place is so empty.


Todd is alright, lots of videos floating around, I won’t make any speculation posts. I’ll let the guys from PDD comment when the pain eases a little.

I’ve got an axe to grind with social media, honestly the people posting pictures and stuff are simply looking for views and for something to go viral. No comment on if anyone is OK or what in the crap happened, just some generic comment to get attention. Alright done with my soap box

You know what else is behind the times...?


I’ll be curious to see if they go with a hammy block or something a little more pricy.
 
I'm glad Todd is ok! After all their cam gear issues, does anyone else wonder how the whole cam made it out in one piece!? Lol wtf yikes
 
Alligator performance has a video of the run on the FB.

Did something stick in the throttle? Or why did he stay in it for so long after the time showed up on the board?
 
They certainly do not leave much on the table when they go out. that is one heck of a fireball. I wonder if they are going to start using some telemetry to monitor/record block vibrations and such. If they are breaking this much chit and keep going at it harder, the extra invested in some good data acquisition would do well.

But then again, I do not know how much more you can go after splitting a solid block.

He updated his Facebook in the middle of the night and said throttle hung, air shutoff setup didn't activate properly, initially looks like 2 rod bolts failed, then whole the rest was still at full tilt it split the Hamilton block off the rotating assembly section.

The end of his run reminded me of the challenger explosion with how you see massive fireball out of nowhere. Luckily the windshield held and just soldered instead of blowing out.
 
Damn! Wish I could see a vid of the pass. Glad Todd is alright, that is a chitload of carnage!

As bad as it sounds, a blown engine is a blessing compared to what could've happened with the runaway. Clearly the situation was out of control and happened so fast he didn't even throw the chute.

Agree 100 percent. I didn't even know it ran such an impressive time till you posted something. Time to start putting cables around those drag motors!

Ho. Lee. Phuck.

I saw another video somewhere on the gram with the hood still "on" the truck. Man that could have been so much worse
