I will tell you what I know about this car.

 

Small Block Ford, something crazy like 425ci with 400shot. Drag Radial car usually runs 8.60's. Always pulls the wheels really high on DR's

 

This just happened a couple of weeks ago up in Milan, MI. the guys name is Marty Merillat. It is the blue and silver mustang. he got out of control when the parachute brace hit the track. There are a couple vids.

 

enjoy

few differant video clips in one about 1:30 long. he is the blue and silver car.

 

this video is from a spectator from the stands with a camera phone.

 

In car camera. you can tell he is trying to feather it like he always has.

 

the 2 videos linked together.

 

here is another video from Norkwalk.

 

There is a class that Fun Ford Weekend runs called True Street. You have to have a Street legal car. Plates, Insurance, mufflers, dot tires. Then you go on a 30 mile cruise. When you get back the only thing you can do is let some air out of your tires. Then you make 3 back to back passes. He usually wins with an avg. time of 8.60. Nice car hate to see this happen. I am sure many of the ford guys on here have see this guy run!

Doesn't look like he hurt anything major.

I had the wrong crash. that one was from May.

 

I found the right ones.

the one taken from the camera phone was the only correct one.

 

Check out this incar VIDEO

 

Here are the high lights from that race!

The car is pretty much done. He has stripped it down and is looking to build a 25.5 chassis car next.

Why not set the car up to keep the nose down a little more.

 

Videos on top of videos on Utube of him running massive wheelies and hitting the wall / almost wrecking. WTF?

 

Wheels up is usually not the fastest way down the track.
