I post on Corral as N20DOH. I was there yesterday when a shop owner I know's car got loose from a gust and got air and hit the retaining wall. They postponed the Pro 5.0 cars for awhile. They let a few run later on yesterday afternoon, but Grebeck got way out of control on a solo run and they shut them down after that. My friend is there today and said Grebeck was airborne and was then airlifted.

The track conditions were attrocious at best and I would not have driven at 175 + mph in them. There was a steady 15-25 mph headwind with gust probably upwards of 40 mph. Not good weather for drag racing especially with the dust that was being kicked onto the track as well. I'm saddened to hear it took this for them to realize how dangerous racing under those conditions could be.

My thoughts and prayers are with Steve Grebeck and his friends and family.
