This weekend, my friend Bruce litton hit the wall hard trying to pedal his top fuel dragster on a run against Bobby lagana at the IHRA event. It rang his bell pretty good, and he has a broken shoulder, broken ribs, and a broken collar bone. he was knocked out for a while, and airlifted to Boston. The impact was so great that it sheared off part of the cage, and his right shoulder actually hit the wall. The impact took some meat off his shoulder, and he is in surgery now. My heart goes out to his family, and very much hope to race against him in the future. Folks, it just goes to show how fast an 8000 hp car can bite you in the a$$.
