Tony Schumacher survived a parachute malfunction and landed in the sand trap Friday at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona during qualifying for the O'Reilly Auto Club Winternationals.
Still, he expressed faith that his U-S Army Dragster team would have everything ready for Saturday's final two qualifying sessions.
After all, it's the same crew that sent him on the 3-point-758-second pass at 328-14 miles an hour and right to the No. 1 spot in the Top Fuel field.
No worse for the wear, Schumacher called his wild ride -- a little bouncy -- but said that's to be expected when traveling two football fields per second.
