Thankfully nobody hurt! Could have been real bad. Good job keeping her in that lane.

Yup that is what happened. It is an 1/8th mile race.

Arnie Cohen's angles shows him jamming the brakes when Major moves right

Other than them, only the person doing their laundry knows exactly how scary that must've really been.
Just glad to see that they both walked away unscathed.

Assuming the chassis wasn't hurt, doesn't look like it'll take too much to get the Z back up and going. Important thing is no one was hurt.
