I saw a guys 1/12th bobble at the end of a long straight miss the 90-degree turn and hit the roadrail at full steam ahead.

The car literally LAUNCHED like from a ramp and FLEW about 10 feet into the air before re-kitting itself against a concrete wall.

With 6-cells I'd bet on the car leaving a hole in the wall on it's way into orbit.
This is why they wer converted to 4 cells. Too dangerous. Also the same reason the nationals dropped 10th pan car w/ 6 cell mod. Those things were missles on foam. Rumor is that DOseck had one that was clocked at over 80 mph. Out accelerated the gas 1/8 scale for the first 60 feet. . But the insurance companys prob. stepped in w people getting hurt and well you know the rest.
RIP 6 cell pan car modified
