    Fyi get the system so your head is strapped to the seat you still have enough slack to move around but then it prevents whip lash or at the very least get a neck brace

    Back in 1978 acquired a 1970 maverick from N.C. body had less than 20k miles on it. Between the shock towers was a brand new crate Boss 302 motor. Maverick had more mustang suspension than maverick. Jack Rousch headers, big spline Ford top loader with Hurst competition plus shifter at the rear was narrowed 9" nodular carrier with Detroit Locker 4:11 gears. Street raced a good bit, hurt a lot of feelings. Sad to see yours ripped to pieces but glad you walked away.

    Glad you are ok, I don't understand why people that run 140 plus dont have chutes on the car street car or not get out of shape pull the damn chute, I lived through something very similar in my S-10 many years ago and my father put a chute on the truck after that and I have hit the wall a few times but the chutes saved the truck and probably my life, I only say this out of concern not being critical. I have been a long time subscriber to your channel and you are a good driver. Good luck and hope to see you racing again.

    • @ironfistvail
      @ironfistvail 6 месяцев назад

      A chute wouldn’t have stopped this from happening. to be honest it’s extremely rare that a chute or chutes as you say stops you from hitting the wall and crossing the track. It may have slowed her down in a straight line and maybe she would have only hit the wall head on at 120 instead of 130. she had all the safety equipment required for the times she was running and chutes are not to prevent accidents they are made to slow down cars NHRA says only cars running 150+ in the 1/4 you are required to have ONE chute because there is not enough track to slow down on brakes alone and anything over 200+ in the 1/4 you need chutes plural as you say and she’s not going 200+

  • @diygaragetx
    @diygaragetx 3 года назад +21

    There's a lot of good to take from this video, despite the outcome. 1) The safety crew was on point, did their job proficiently and even inspected the helmet, belts and head restraint for damage so they cant be used again in case of fatigue. 2)Awesome to see you in there with the guys getting dirty and hands on, it' isn't just for men 3)Good to see the car held up GOOD for what it went through 4)EVERY single video I watch, I look for safety stuff because so many of us don't take it serious - You're in the group of a few people I see that appears to be 100%..GOOD JOB! 5)lastly and most importantly - you got out relatively unscathed. Any idea what the cause was? Internet diagnosis looks to me like the rear end locked up - you can see it skidding the back tires after the initial hit, or that's the brakes locked up in the back?

    • @David-uu1oj
      @David-uu1oj 2 года назад +4

      A chute probably would not have prevented the initial hit, but, having already activated one prior to finish line may have kept the Mav from crossing over so violently. At this level of performance you gotta have one.
      Sorry for this loss.

I feel the scariest part for me was when she was under the car when the right side came down a little then she repositioned under the car on her knees .

    Parachutes they are a pain in the ass to pack. But when you get in the habit of using them. They will save you in more ways than you can count. Kinda like when someone grabs you by the shirt collar and it pulls you backwards. It straightens you out every time. Good thing you won’t hurt. You were very calm surprisingly. Not the first bad word even at the oh shit moment. Definitely was on a good pass.

    150 mph requires a 'chute per rule book as I recall.

    Found your channel from "old man" (lol... he's younger than me) SRC Garage Bills post on his channel about meeting you.
    I was at the track that day and had admired your car in the pits (I have a soft spot for old Mavericks) and was crushed when I watched your wreck unfold and was so relieved that you were ok.
    You have a new fan of your channel and look forward to watching you as you go forward.
