Any truth to this comment under the photo?

"We recently heard that NHRA has updated their rules in 2013 to allow cars made from 2008 and up to run as fast as 10.00 in the 1/4 mile without a roll bar or a roll cage."

That rule change surprises me. What a nasty wreck this one was. Does your insurance company usually pay out when your car wrecks while racing at a track? Just curious.

Somebody wanna grab that for me?

On the upside the cabin looks intact.

Pretty sure it has to be a stock car for the rule to apply.

Must be stock down to the tires. Im sure people will be doing pulley changes and CAI's that most tech inspectors would not catch.

Well, if the driver is OK.....he will be in a world of hurt. Not only physical, but mental.....because insurance isn't going to cover this accident.
