Crazy NHRA crash from 10/10/05

I would have never thought they both would survive this crash.

I would have though the guy on the right survived, but not the other guy. Looked like his car disintegrated.

Here's the injury report:

Bruce Allen (the guy that flipped): concussion, cuts & bruises. Released from the hospital the next afternoon.

The other guy, Kenny Koretsky, surprisingly got the worst: broken arm, broken wrist, two cracked ribs, bruised heart. He was released from the hospital yesterday (Monday).

The track this happened at is notorious for having a very narrow groove. Allen drifted out of the groove and as he was correcting, the car happened to catch on one side and overcorrected itself into Koretsky's lane. BTW, this happened on Friday 10/7.

Check out the leave. Car in the left lane was asleep!! If you can't cut an 04 or better light in Pro Stock (or any of the big classes), you just ain't gonna be around long in the sport.
