FUNNY CAR
Cannon, Pedregon Tangle
Scotty Cannon sported a new Camaro body after destroying his primary one
in a spectacular two-car crash with Frank Pedregon's Pontiac. The incident
occurred after the finish line as Cannon posted his quickest run of the
weekend at 5.011/272.89.
"I was reaching up to pull the chutes," said Cannon, "and it felt like
(the car) blew a tire. I slammed into the wall. I'm just glad I was
OK. I didn't realize he hit me. It killed the chassis, the headers and
all four wheels. We're going with a new chassis and body…. This body
has more downforce, so we'll have to see how it reacts. The other car
was the only car I could make consistent runs with. These cars are built
good because it took a hard lick. I wasn't ready for that. I don't hold
anything against Frankie. There wasn't anything he could do about that.
That's just drag racing. These cars are beasts. My knee took a knock
and my wrist is a little sore and I've got a bit of a headache, but
I feel fine otherwise. We were able to salvage the engine and fuel system."
