Rob,

They had an 1/8 mile drag set up, I run that right at 6 seconds and 110 mph, by the time I shifted 1,2, and busy trying to keep the car straight, I had already pasted the cones. I looked up for the cones and couldn't find them, of course my foot was on the gas the whole time. Optically I couldn't see the end of the runway, and when I did, I was well over 130 mph and about 50' of runway left. Muttered something to myself like....."oh chit" and went off the end of the runway, doing some loops and coming off the ground 3 times about 3-4' high each time. Really wasn't thinking anything while this was happening, just goin for a ride. Then I saw the end of the airport property coming up, and this 4 foot dirt mound covered in grass, and me still doin around 50 mph. Said to myself, anytime the NASCAR guys hit something like this, it's never pretty. Shot up the mound and into the next field. Ended up over 200 yards from end of runway. Side exhaust was now an undercar exhaust on one side, broke both motor mounts, bent 1 rim, and slightly moved the radiator.....That was a kodak moment that's still pretty fresh in my memory as the day it happened.
