Funny Car driver Tom Padilla at the Bakersfield March Meet 2009. The body flew off of his Nitro Funny Car "Red Dragon" on Saturday March 7, 2009. The body flew up into the air after the engine blew. Everyone who saw this happen, described it as, a record height for any car body and at least the "longest" hang time of about :02 seconds.
Video of this accident is now here on youtube. I talked with him about 30 minutes after his accident.

  • That is one of the bodies we make at Coyote Composites. Hopefully they will get it patched back together.

  • Gary appears to be talking with "Nasty" Dave Benjamin, Tom's Crew Chief and long time F/C driver.

  • Gary Densham is in the background the whole time.
