Yikes !!!

Looks like there was some kind of a pin that either popped out or was not fully engaged. Wow.

Had that happen one time in our supercomp dragster. Had a removable steering wheel and still not sure why but it came off about 80' out of the gate. Luckily didnt wreck the car, got it shut down and stopped no problem. Car went straight as an arrow anyway always did...luckily.

I promise you though...the following weekend we did have the removable steering wheel anymore..lol. It is definately a high pucker factor yes.
