I don't think the Fuel cars are anywhere near 10Gs....the instant force off the line might see 4-5 but thats only going to be for a moment then its going to slow somewhat during the run maybe dropping to 2....the stop is where most of it comes from....hitting 6-8Gs when the cutes pop...but again thats only for the instant.


It is very sad to hear what happend. It would be bad enough to loose one loved one but for both to go at the same time has to just be about unbarible
