IDK call me crazy but I'd be more worried about destroying my "frame" more than a transmission on a bikeWhen I broke my thumb it cost almost $3K worth of medical expenses..... and that was for a Thumb!! I dont see a transmission costing more than a serious injury
Your talking about a $3000 transmission. I'm guessing it happened to fast for him to realize what was happening and when he did figure it out it was too late. He either had the clutch setup wrong or too much nitrous too fast.

I've been going to the track for 25 years and have only seen something like that happen twice. It's a gut sick feeling watching it happen in person...hope the rider is OK.

Anyone who has any info on the photographer of these pics please get in touch with me at Super Streetbike. Shoot me an email at ssbmail@sorc.com and I'll get it. Thanks! -BRIAN
Us track junkies use the rear brake as a wheelie control device. Does the rear brake not serve the same purpose for drag racers?
My second question is, if there is no means of avoiding a loop on one of these fire breathing demons, why would anyone throw a leg over the seat? Seems suicidal to me, eh?

It happened quick. I'm guessing within about 3-4 seconds after he launched. Almost all of the times I have seen this, something has happened with the nos controller kicking in too early and too fast.

anyone seriously into drag racing usually removes all the rear brake components and half of the front to save weight.
Its seems crazy to me too, but hey, I dont race.
Those are Grudge bikes. Most class bikes are required to run rear brakes not to mention a lot tracks require them too
