Funny Car "Eats" Crewmember

This is great. It happened last week at Barona (a local track here in San Diego). I was planning on going that night, but didn't get there.

Anyway... the first few seconds are all you need to see (watch the orange car).





The explanation from the son (the crew member... his dad was driving) was: "A stud in the supercharger came loose and got sucked in the supercharger which in turned cracked the case of the supercharger and lifted the injector and when the injector lifted it opened the throttle and make the car go forward..... its a good thing my dad reacted quick enough to get the car shut off...."

Man I was laughing pretty hard for that split second, but after it launched I was like "Oh shit!!!" Then started laughing again!
