    Great job on saving the car. Nothing like entering the Pucker Factor Zone.

    Yeah thats a pretty wild video.....and to think that during the first second of the car getting out of control the driver had the "thought" enough to pull the chute to try and help correct the car.
    Pretty cool.

    The car usually is on a string going down, that's the first time I've seen him lose it. First time trial he went 4.26, the blower cars were in the 4.17 range. Then he did that on the 2nd time trial, and first round got a little loose again, aganst the same car in the video, and lost. I like the video in slow motion, where you see the car getting airborne just before the chutes settle it down. I can't believe he missed all the cones (or blocks), he went right between them!
