A local drag racer flipped his Sierra a couple of weeks ago in qualifying. He lost traction on fourth gear and slided/"walked" out from narrow airfield strip, and flipped numeous times totalling his Sierra pretty thoroughly.

Sierra was a nice one, best ET was 8.8 and speed somewhere around 245 or so.

After the accident he drank a case of beer, watched the race to the end and told, he will be driving with a new car in the next race in Pudasjärvi, which is held this weekend.
I promised him a bottle of brandy, if he does that. So did a few others as well.
He has an image blog, and updates if it has time over building. So here You can follow the progress.

He posted last night, the engine was running. Now let's see if I owe him the bottle of brandy on saturday morning, when qualification starts in Pudasjärvi.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
ps. if someone wants to drop in their own brandy bottle, I can forward them.
