very common for oil to be coming out of the breather a bit - reason for the rag. We all have that. Good theory but it had nothing to do with it.

It was driver error and the brakes were locked. Everyone should get rid of those garbage launcher chutes and carbon brakes. Here is the exact reason why !!

It's good he is ok - but what about the next guy ?

thanks for the info.. he is lucky

Looking at my pictures from the night before this run... I now remember seeing OIL that had blown out of Bartunek's Breather(for dry sump), getting OIL on the top p/s of his radiator and hose, and a little oil mist on a hose and part of the frame tubing. He had a rag strapped over the breather and it was soaked with oil. I saw someone wipe it off and walk away. It is just in front of and to the inside of the right front tire/brake rotor!...HMMMM...??!!

I was in the shutdown area doing chute shots when it happened. I am the last person in the shutdown area in the right lane. Chutes got tangled in the wheelie bars then it was classic carbon fiber rotor lock up. Have seen this same situation with two top sportsman cars at our home track.

Thanks.. I can see the tangle on my computer.. also looks like the right side wheelie bar bounces up and down like it broke (?) when I watch it in slow mo.

LMAO . You have a serious MENTAL PROBLEM . Lets kick Bartunek in the nuts after he crashes now is definatly time to show boat your arm chair quarterback play by play talents. As far as bringing Rocca in on this , this also shows your true mentality .Pray to fuck Karma doesn't bite you in the ass for bad mouthing these 2 stand up guys. When YOU crash I hope some stupid dick licker like you comes on and tells you how great they are and how they will beat them up. LMAO , loser your too much.

[lauermachine]

You seem to like running your cocksucker .Maybe

you want to tell this to John Bartunek's face . And see how tough you are. Why don't you call him up and match race him with your shit can . His car broke in half would still pump your snail.

[charlespre1]

[mizzpink98z24cavi]

Oh my goodness I hope he is okay. I have seen this happen already to a gorgeous 55 customized blown bel air. I can't even imagine what the family is going through. I wish him all the best...

[EvilPrince69]

Seems like he oiled/watered the slicks after the 2nd MPH bump.

[iceman5X75]

you also have to remember this is johns secondary car, he still has his pro stock car

[RevoRacer24]

i was on the tower 3rd from the left leaning on the rail,, was an awsome crash

[Mr2009promod]

I am done with this topic and you. I am glad your buddy is ok-as stated in every post before you started in-should he evaluate what is plans are for driving again?That is not an insult it's a fact.We all drive things that can hurt us-people and other races.ALL of that should be considered-not race something because it makes us cool-I ran a Nitro boat and stopped because it was to dangerous and to much for me.I have a family and others that are more important.U missed the point of that somewhere.
