Larry Dixon survived a nasty 300-MPH blowover crash today in Gainsville, FL during NHRA Qualifying yesterday.

When you’re going that fast all you need is a little bit of air to get underneath the car to pick you right up into the air (there’s a reason they call the people that drive them pilots).

Dragsters are especially vulnerable to this with how long and light the front of the cars are. From what I can tell by watching the video something allowed air to get underneath the middle of the nose lifting the car up into the air and breaking it in half.

I think something broke somewhere (maybe a chassis component or something I really have no idea) to set this whole crash in motion.
