NHRA top fuel dragster driver Larry Dixon crashes after his car broke in half during qualifying for the Gatornationals at Auto Plus Raceway at Gainesville...

I used to go down to Santa Pod in Northamptonshire to watch it. That was back in the early 70's. I enjoyed it a lot..................

Well......... Did he live to race another day?

When I lived in So. Cal., went to the Winternationals every year at Pomona, saw a few wrecks,
but never saw anything like that......

"Dixon walked away and waved to the crowd after his Top Fuel car broke in half at about 280 mph
and flew high into the air during a qualifying run at the Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals at
Auto Plus Raceway."

Thanks, Vern. You have a way of researching stuff for sure.
