here is a copy and paste from Eric:
"Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers, I am OK VERY sore and bruised, if I move to fast i get real dizzy but its getting better...
I got home OK and downloaded the data from the pass and what i learned was that 2.2 seconds into the pass it started to shake the tire, it shows i try ed to lift (tps) and pull on the toe hook, but it was stuck. It went to around 5800 rpm then I hit the wall at 3.0... I thought i had turned off the ign and went for the chutes before it hit the wall. Once it hit the wall I was knocked out and I pinned it to the floor, then when i hit the wall the second time it knocked my foot off the throttle and it went back to the stuck position till it ran out of fuel..I learned a lot from this and my new car will have some changes because of it. I was very lucky my safety gear did its job. Things could have been way worse and looking back on it I am very glad it happened the way it did..
I went to the track the next day and thanked all involved. Most people don't know this but one of the fire rescue workers has hit by a piece of the tire or wheel and had to go to the hospital also, he will be OK.. They all did a great job and I would like all to know I am very great full that they put there lives on the line to save me!!!!! "
