Man that sucks. You expect to get hurt drag racing eventually but not like that.

I thought his gloved was just knocked off? Or someone who saw the race said that.

Hams51 · 07-03-2005, 07:46 PM

Ouch. That is just awful to watch. I hope it got sewed back on on-time.

Really tough to tell. Might be just the glove.

Oh really? Well I hope that is all that happened, I thought it was the whole hand.

thats a ancient video. Comon think of it... kinna hard for a "piston" to blow through the what 4-5 inches of same metal head and tank still having enough energy to take a hand off..... get real. It was proven long ago to be a glove. settle down kids.

if his hand was actually blown off, i'm sure there would have been much more blood. probably still broke a bone or two.

looked like his hand blew off.

thankfully it wasn't..

The first time this was posted it was liked to the message board it came from and the racer made the post.. that dude's glove just flew off, but the gas tank popped up and cracked his sternum(sp?)

That video is of Brock Davidson. It was a nitrous backfire in the airbox. He was hurt yes, no his hand wasn't blown off.. Pretty old video.. That's what happens when you try to fog both nitrous and fuel in an airbox. Any little hiccup and BOOM...

Whoa. Saw that vid yesterday and thought for sure his hand was fooked. Glad he's alright though.

Merely a flesh wound.
