At Zmax last Sunday, Barb's car stopped at the end of the track. When officials came up to it to see what the issue was -- they found Barb badly hurt inside from the car's rear end breaking and the driveshaft coming into the car. Details are very sketchy and so I don't choose to speculate any further as I'd be talking out of my ass.
She suffered a lot of broken bones (quite a few ribs) -- but also very seriously and permanently injured her right elbow. She's had a couple of surgeries to try to fix it -- and the talk is that the doctors want to replace it -- but it may be too fair damage to do that.

Just reminder that drag racing is a dangerous sport -- and while I don't know the details of exactly what part and how it failed on Barb's car -- it should be a reminder to inspect the underside of your car often for broken, loose, or improperly installed parts.
