Nice safety equipment. The seat and seatbelts really did their job.

Clock's still running if he never crossed the finish line.

Not sure why he was still accelerating when the car was going the wrong direction.

There comes a time when you let up. Assuming you can. I am betting his carb linkage was put together as good as his seat!

I've never seen an ejection seat in a car :cool:

Apparently seatbelts were not used.

Pre-launch and launch scenes show serious shortcomings in suspension.

Even if throttle linkage failed, there's always:

1. Shift to neutral.

2. Kill ignition.

3. Leave it on the trailer. RECOMMENDED.

Old video. That car was not street safe. Let alone track safe. Crazy stuff.
