June 10 1990 Eddie has built the second drive-shaft loop. Doc decided he wanted 2 drive-shaft loops after watching a racer at Woodburn Dragstrip catapult off the end of the track when his drive-shaft broke and dug into the pavement. When the drive-shaft let loose, it swung around and cut the brake lines. Fortunately, at the end of the track was a farmer's field, which the driver used to slow down his car and he was not injured at all. The driver's name is Steve Burns.
