I’ll bet a lot of wheels are turning since the John Force wreck

They will figure out the tether system for sure. You can see force steering away from the right side wall after the explosion. After that between the flames, fiberglass body, etc he probably couldn’t see. Possibly even the body limited his ability to steer the car. With those two hard hits to the wall we will never know. But the bottom line is with the safety system now the chutes should have deployed possibly assisting in not only curbing speed but straightening out the car some.
