i watched this pass live on the weekend...it was intense to say the least!!! this was a new build for him and just got it into the 7's earlier in the day.
this is what his wife had to say to all the keyboard racers afterwords!!!hehehe
Ok, im going to take the time to explain to all the bags of f**k on here riding their kill switch's nuts what happened...once.
Eric ran a 7.77 in the morning with 26 degrees of timing and decided to give the firebird 2 more before the last pass. Nothing, and i mean nothing else was done to the car. Its obvious the car left just fine, but when it started to get loose he was unable to pedal. The throttle was unresponsive and after pulling up on the toe hook a few times he started reaching for his switches and chutes while braking. It was only a split second before he smacked the wall and was unconscious. The throttle remained stuck, however the front control arms had buckled from the impact and it prevented the car from moving forward. The puke tank and evac lines are what caused the fire. Burned wiring cause the engine to finally stop running. The fire team on site said they believed he pulled his fire suppression and he was reaching for things when they got there but his motor skills were sub par to say the least.
Ultimately, he is fine...because he's the Wild Man. He's bummed about his car but glad he invested in only the best safety equipment. He had a great crew, and a great bunch of people working to get him out of the car.
For all those sending positivity his way, i cant thank you enough and can tell you hes ready to get back into a new build.
For all you drag racing bruce lee's out there with the cat-like reflexes to take some shit like that down the track and hit the kill switch while waving to your screaming fans...get f**king real. If you think of something to say and you think it might make you sound like a dumbf**k...keep it to yourself. No one wants to listen to your simple ass, like i told two dudes at the track today who wanted to open their mouths about it. Hope youre reading this too.
<3,
Mrs
