    Car Racers Bruce Allen and Kenny Koretsky Collide
    Both drivers escape relatively unscathed after Motorplex crash.

    Arlington driver Bruce Allen and Pro Stock racer Kenny Koretsky escaped one of the worst racing accidents in recent memory with fewer injuries than they might incur falling off a stepladder.

    Allen has a concussion, a black eye and a cut hand. Koretsky has a bruised chest and a sore neck. Most of the people who saw the crash Friday night at Texas Motorplex expected much worse.

    people who know nothing about a sport should'nt bash it, I race and trust me, the torque steer from one of those cars must be insane, they are very skilled!

  • racing car crash

    meant to say racing, not acing. guess I didn't hit the key hard enough. Thought I'd better correct myself, before some one else did , after all this site is just as bad on correcting the other guys words as rating the videos. sigh!!!!!!

    I'v seen meany such crashes, It's part of the sport. Why don't they put a clear wall
    down the middle of the track, Six inch thick, and six feet tall,Plexiglass would
    do the trick. But fans would bitch, that's
    why. It' all part of the show, The drivers
    know this.

  • Yes, he did survive!

    THAT'S how safe these cars are! And to the moron that wrote "why race when you can't drive", strap yourself into one of these , brave boy! In fact, Bruce Allen has been inducted into the Michigan Motor Sorts Hall of Fame and has had a long a very successful career.

  • Alive and Well

    Not only did Bruce Allan live, he walked away. In fact it was later put in the paper, people who have fallen off step ladders have been hurt worse.

  • What an stupid sport...

    If you people like this kind of races is not for the skill of the pilots but for the taste of the almost sure tragedy that will eventually happen...

    Go back to F-1 please...

    • Grrr...

      It has nothing to do with his driving - unless you have personally driven at 300 miles an hour keep your trap shut. One of those tires lets go and it does not matter where your front wheels are - i've been in similiar situations. You happen to hit a slick patch on the pavement and just like that your flying into the wall even though your steering wheel is hard the other direction. P.S. most of the skill involved is in designing and building the vehicles. No matter what you say, it takes a hell of lot more skill and engineering to build an engine that produces 8000 hp and 10000 rpm in under an hour than it does to make a F-1 engine run even 12000rpm. I've got a friend who works in the pits for an F-1 team and he is constantly amazed at top fuel and dragsters in general because of thier power and meticolous construction.

      I did a quick search on the guy in the exploded car, Bruce Allen, and found an article that says both drivers are ok.

    • think about it

      as long as you know how to push a peddle down, you can race in this. they could have no stering wheel and it wouldn't make any difference.

    • U dumb S**t !

      U may have to just mash the gas down but u still have to keep the car straight, hit the gears flawlessly, and know when to back down cause of a problem.

    • They have steering wheels for good reaso...

      Now admittedly I've never driven anything with Pro Stock 2 power, but when you take off from the standing position at full throttle your back tires will spin. When they do they will try to pass the front tires anyway they can. This causes the car to fishtail and loose traction. You need that steering wheel to keep your back tires behind you. You are all over the wheel in a 350hp car. Watch the video right before Allen slides across the lane this happens, his back tires slide and lose traction. I have only done something like that in a 78 Camaro. I can only imagine that the effects would be worse on a car three times as powerful as it.

    • how stupid can u get

      of course they hav a steering wheel, i've bin in ben bray's holden ss ute trust me they hav a steering wheel and even tho this one only had 1500 hp thats still a lot of power to control.

    • it´s so funny...

      ...the way the Americans talk about speed and control of their cars and what awesome drivers they are... MYYYY GOOOOOD! In the US your streets are like two miles wide your cars slightly smaller, 10 lanes going one way and you are not allowed to go faster than 75 mph or so, haha. But your still think that you are the sh**, that´s sooo funny. Go to other places of the world and look at the traffic...it´s way more challenging in ANY other places to drive a car than in the US, that is why you may drive at the age of 16.
