The owner just put in in "D" and floored it, instead of keeping it in a lower gear. The operator of the dyno supposedly tried to get the driver to back off, but to no avail.

Again, according to local forums, another high horsepower drag car (800 hp) had just done a pull before the Mustang with no problems, but kept his wheel speed down by keeping it in second gear.
