He came out of the hole hard, got out a few hundred feet, went up in smoke, stayed in it, headed for the right lane, turned back left to try to keep it out of the wall, car pitched sideways again, and flopped on its roof........cant believe it flipped over from that but it did......car is beat up but chris looked ok....From what I saw, t-tops and no funny car cage (hoop over your head) makes for a rough ride....

I'm OK guys. It was definitely a ride that I hope never experience again...but that's why we have cages in our cars. It's pretty much exactly as Psycodave explained. Glass everywhere. Initially, I could not get the seatbelt camlocks to release because my weight was on them. All the while, I was watching oil draining out of my dry sump, my helmet scraping on the ground and waiting forever for the car to stop. The motor and drive train are fine, we drove into the garage after we took it off the trailer.

Seen the wreck first hand, it could have been SO much worse, glad your OK Chris... 
As for the other NC1320 peeps....
Jalil looked great, car looked good leaving, and was runnin 5.3Xs consistantly. Good job Jalil.
Greg Castro made a nice debut with his car. It ran pretty good 1/4 mile run. Im not saying his time cause I dont know IF he wants too...
Dizopes car looked good when I seen it, didnt see it every run.
Bowman won the Drag Radial race with some 7.8X's @ 184 and he also is the 2008 WCHRA Drag Radial Champion. Way to be Dave

Chris,
I was on vacation and could not make it to the track.
I was disappointed at first but I am glad I did not have to see this.
Thank God you are ok!
Let me know when you are ready to talk about the next step and I will
help if I can.
