What I saw on ESPN2 and following on WT, only solidifies what John was screaming about on WT last month during the Indy Nationals---that big, REALLY BIG changes need to be made to the FC class (and all rail classes) for safety reasons, beginning with a complete teardown and safety research/rebuild, and he's workin' on it more than anyone else in the biz.
Thank God for the John Forces' of this world.
I gotta agree - John is more than right on this one. Richard Hammond’s crash over in England showed just how primitive all these rail classes are - and there’s no reason for that, especially when the things are already running restricted after Top Fuel broke into the 3’s last decade.
Fix the safety issues on them - then, if they’re slower, derestrict them.
