Robert Hight suffered a massive explosion, slinging him into the next lane which was luckily not being occupied by Cruz Pedregon. As Hight wrestled his Mustang to a stop he was having flashbacks to his first round run in Charlotte where he rubbed Jeff Arend after his BOSS 500 motor lost half its cylinders and overpowered his control.

“I had my hand on the chute and I had closed the throttle then it just blew up. It was an unbelievable explosion. It blew my hand off the steering wheel. It had the rear end so far off the ground it moved over into Cruz’s lane. I couldn’t see anything because my body was broken back up to the windshield. I could look out the side window and all I saw was guard wall on Cruz’s side. I had a flash back to last week in Charlotte. I was wondering where Cruz was. It was hauling. If we get this Mustang right this thing will run a lot quicker,” said Hight.
