Damn that was huge. Glad hes ok. I hate how bad things have gotten for Banner Racing the last couple years, ever since Pontiac pulled out of production and competition theyve really seemed to struggle. |

Seems the Mazda driver may be injured a bit. Fully conscious and doesn't look to be in much distress. Must be a neck/back problem since they're taking so much time and care to get him out. |

I don't have much knowledge of what causes it, but it just boggles my mind that stuck throttle is still this regular a risk in racing. Surely someone's designed a throttle system that can kill the engine as soon as it detects a significant difference between the pressure on the gas pedal and the revs in the engine? Or assuming the pedal is what's getting stuck, a different mechanism less likely to lock up? |

The problem was he had no brakes. He hit them a few times trying to pump them, but from the looks of it he had no rear brakes and he just locked the fronts up. |

Sequence of photos from a cameraman standing right behind where the Camaro hit: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... eTheater=1 He says repeatedly the engine was wide open, although the driver's comment was the brakes jammed. Wonder if it was both? |
