J&A Services Pro Mod racer Eric Latino wasn't the least bit happy after Friday's Q-1 session at the NHRA Toyota Nationals in Las Vegas.
Latino left the starting line in the left lane, but after severe tire shake, his supercharged Camaro made an abrupt turn right into Jim Whiteley's lane, missing the turbocharged racer. The car car headed for a direct hit into the retaining wall, but a last-second turn resulted in a side impact. The out of control car then headed back to the left lane where it impacted violently the left retaining wall. The car slid to a halt, where he exited the car under his own power.
