Driver in a funny car is just too vulnerable sitting behind the motor even partially exposed. The sport lost a great one yesterday.

not necisarily, i dont think the engine placement is the problem. it was a mechanical failure that could have happened to anyone, and a saftey capsule wouldnt not help because it would just slide and not have anything to cushion an impact
