First of all it was a Funny Car, When those big engines explode in front of you there isn't much you can do. Your confined in the car and now your breathig fire and an explosion like that probably took out the breaking system. You really can't limit the Horse power because that will mean a boring race. The hole shot will always win. the only thing they can do is try to come up with an emergency braking system that can be used as a backup system in case the primary is blown off, because of the speed, increase the stopping area at the track, or eliminate the Funny Car series all together. Its a shame that Scott died in the very type of car that drove his father into the Top Fuel competition. I believe it was a similar accident, the car blowing up in his face, that moved Connie into the Top Fuel Ranks.
R.I.P. SCOTT
