    OMG! that is a retarded track, the wall was so close, and why did they put a concrete wall there. I just hope he passed out before the impact, or that wouldn't have been horrible, just getting close to a wall and not able to do anything.

    um.. there were nets.. usually even when they are still going they have deployed chutes and brakes... he I would say was pretty much cooked about 2 secs after the first fire... (top FUEL... highly volitile and burns reallllly hot) and hadnt hit the brakes or any attempt to slow the vehicle when it hit...
