Cody Mac Uninjured in Fiery Belle Rose Crash

Cody McManama escaped uninjured, but the car and its brand new 737-inch “Musi Mutilator” powerplant were left a lot worse for wear.

(3-20-2004) - Most racers are aware of the syndrome known as “new car blues,” but for 21-year-old Cody McManama, the situation went from the sublime to the ridiculous in one fell swoop during a Friday night test session at No Problem Raceway Park.

McManama, of Wallingford, Connecticut, who has a background in Pro Outlaw and Pro Modified competition, had a new 1999 Pro Street Monte Carlo in Belle Rose, Louisiana for the Corteco Gaskets NSCA Drag Racing Series presented by BFGoodrich season opener. On Friday evening he took the car out for its first shakedown pass, but unfortunately things went very bad just a short way into the run.

As Cory shifted into second gear, the second stage of nitrous came in at the exact same time, throwing the car out of control and into the wall. Fire erupted shortly thereafter, and the track rescue personnel had to act fast to extinguish the flames and get the driver to safety.

McManama escaped uninjured, but the car and its brand new 737-inch “Musi Mutilator” powerplant were left a lot worse for wear. There was guarded speculation that the car could be repaired, but Cody will unfortunately be sidelined for a few NSCA events this season.
