Freak drag racing accident in Oklahoma

[41woodie]

Sad to report that a well liked top alcohol pilot, Shelly Howard, was killed in a really freak accident two days ago.  At around 200mph the front of the digger got air, lifted, did a 180 and headed back toward the starting line.  If that wasn't enough it collided head on with the chase truck...... the driver and her son in the chase truck were both killed in the accident.  Geez, what a sad day for racing and a bizarre accident

Wow. In my 20 years of drag racing , I've never seen or heard anything like that.  That's just terrible.
