They don't have the nickname, between myself and some friends, Bent, Broke, and Twisted for nothing. I believe they have destroyed 5 cars in 4 yrs, IIRC.

yeah, there's video of Dennis' car getting all four off the ground at the finish line several months ago. I'm surprised they didn't try to figure out how to keep the front end down then. Thank God Dennis survived the wreck.

That same day, Underground Racing wrecked their Twin Turbo Gallardo in the Texas Mile at 230+mph. That guy also walked away, but it was horrendous.

I think I'm gonna mention those crashes in the chassis article I'm writing. In the slo-mo clip of Dennis' wreck, you can see the car come down on the wall right at the driver's side rocker panel. Incidentally, that area of impact is eerily close to where Grebeck's car was hit in his fatal accident. Guess all those floor bars help!

it's funny, on yb they have this posted, and anyone that says anything about them having a problem with the car coming up previously and not doing something about it gets beat to hell on the board, it probably would have wrecked previously had it not had the wheelie bars on it
