The cause of the crash, a blown oil filter line which spewed oil underneath the car. Crew members tried unsuccessfully to gain their driver’s attention prior to his making the run.
I've never seen oil like that before. If anything it looks closer to coolant.
instead of getting his attention why didn't they just kill the power? with that said, scruggs is still the man
Look at the picture... His front tire is in the air already... He was taking off...
Alcohol does that to oil..... however, the oil they run is not off the shelf oil either, and is probably lighter in color than most...
They should have a remote ignition kill on these cars where the crew can disable the car if they see something before launch...RF key fob hooked to a relay within the car would do the trick!
