1965 Chevy II:

--- Quote from: "maggifinn" ---I went to Tulsa raceway park to run the midnite drags tonight but the track was closed due to a fatal accident. A top fuel car was making a pass when the throttle stuck at full throttle. the driver pulled his or her chute to stop the car but it turned the car around.It procceded to go back towards the start line running over their pit car. Both cars then went through the burnout fence and ending up in the creek.

On the trp website it listed the driver as Shelly Howard. From other conversations it appears that two of the crewmember in the pit car were killed also.

eflaust kemur killer switch í öryggisreglurnar þarna ef það er ekki fyrir í reglunum , annars er spurning hvort menn hafa tíma til að grípa til þess að notast við hann.

vorkenni ökumanni og vinum og fjölskyldu það er ekkert gaman að throttle festist inni og ég kvartar oftar fyrir að vélinn hitnar roslega + dekkinn líka en að slys gerist útaf þessu er verra (vanalega skelli ég í hlutlausan ef vélinn festist í 5000 rpm á ljósum og svona.. gerðist oft hjá mér áður en ég lagaði það)

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A top female drag racer and her son were killed after her car went out of control and struck his support vehicle at Tulsa Raceway Park, police said Sunday.
Michelle "Shelly" Howard, 59, and Brian Howard, 36, were pronounced dead following the Saturday night accident, Sgt. Tim Bracken said.

"When she started off, she lost control of the vehicle and somehow it went airborne, spun itself around and raced back up the speedway," Bracken said.

Her car then hit the car her son was in.

"The estimated speed at the point of impact was 250 mph," Bracken said.


Capt. Steve Bayles said both vehicles came to rest in a drainage ditch area, about 150 feet from the point of impact. Howard and her son were thrown from their vehicles.

There were no other injuries.

Howard began racing in 1978 and was a three-time national event winner, a Division 4 champion in 2001 and 2003 and the 2004 Jeg's Allstars champion, the NHRA said. She had eight divisional event wins.

"She was certainly a great competitor and a great champion with the NHRA," Anthony Vestal, director of media relations for the NHRA, told the Tulsa World.

"Certainly, incidents involving a fatality are very rare. We have millions of cars go down the track each year and while there are incidents, the results being that extreme are very rare."

Howard was a registered nurse and is survived by her husband, Dr. Paul Howard of Tulsa, and daughters Jennifer and Tracy, the NHRA said.


Apparently, it is speculated, that when the car flipped and turned around she was knocked unconcious, from that point on, there was no driver control.
