He's a rich business man that use to race 15 years ago and what I hear was pretty good racer. Now that he has unlimited funds, he buys a RM 632 and a all round tube chromemolly car. He started asking everybody's opinion and followed what whoever he talked to last had said. Someone told him to put a thottlestop on and it would be safer until he got everthing just right. Only thing is he had never run a TS and didnt know to bring it on just out of the gate and to set it where it would come back on very slowly. He blamed the track saying it wasn't prepped properly. But very few tracks will hold a 1100HP car coming right back on the TS. He took out 50ft of guard rail and 5 telephone poles that were used to support the guard rail. He was uninjured and within 2 weeks had purchased another Jerry Haas car.
