This is Frank5l's turbo truck....I think it has gone mid 9's..........

The accident happened at Lightning Fest, looks like the truck is pretty banged up. Very sad.

Looks like the truck in the other lane hit Frank as he came across.

Are there any other websites with info from the event? SVT Performance didn't have anything about it.

His oil filter gasket somehow let oil blow out and it lost traction on the left rear tire. The only thing that broke was after the crash. He said the gasket had a small break in it.

I wasn't there for the wreck because I had to leave early. But Frank was battling that thing Friday and Saturday morning trying to get it dialed in. He finally gets it to hook and this happens. I know Frank must be devistated but he'll come back faster than ever. I think he cut like a 1.3X 60' on that run before he lost it. Not bad for drag radials huh....
