Saw she crashed a 6.20 door car (1/8 Mile), at a prepped track bracket race. Car was out of shape immediately off the line, and drove the car to around the 330 before crashing it. For a second it looked like she was going to take out the 4.90 door car that was chasing her down. Looks like it was leaking something, but if these are the choices she makes as a driver, how is she going to handle a 4000 HP no prep car?

No Prep, Racin is Wreckin.
‘No Prep taking out light pole gensets and rental vans nation wide.

You put Immokalee and prepped track in the same sentence.....must have a loose definition of the term "prep". - Wish we could test there as close as it is to home, but all too often you're lucky if they even broom full length and it's a very narrow groove in the first place.
It can be a great little track and was years ago when the 10.5 movement was still strong, but not much for events these days aside from the bracket stuff.

4.90 Door car next to her went right down, and the car right behind her went right down.
Tire and chassis the same as what she had?
I haven't seen it and it definitely sounds like she over drove it, but have to compare apples to apples.

I raced there in the IHRA days at the Pro Am races. The track was always good. I won an Iron Man there in Super Stock
in the past 5-10 years?
It used to be great and we went many 1.0x 60ft's there on 10.5's, I've tried to test there 3-4x in the past ~6 years and with a tune that will 1.0x at Bradenton on a regular Thursday evening TNT I was lucky to roll out of the beams when I let go of the brake because it spun so hard.
I will say I've heard it's been better the past year or two with Shameless Racing's involvement, but even they've said the PBR tire we run probably won't go down well there.
