Sounds like no one was hurt but this stinks.
Bummer. A couple Mopars taken out

Dang glad nobody hurt. AMD has 66-67 Belvedere quarters in stock, well they did last week.
Sad deal there. Those were both very nice racecars. I have seen them in person. The duster driver is looking for another body. I wonder what the other side of both of these look like.
here is a better day for the Plymouth

Or you could just let it sit in the garage that May or may not burn down.

Or get blown away in a tornado or get washed away in a flood or....
Nothing lasts forever
The drivers are OK. That is the important part.
It is his and he enjoyed it while it lasted. I personally wouldn't have used that particular car for that. There are plenty of one of 15000's out there. But hey, to each their own.
That's a real shame.

Looks like both could be fixed.
Ouch, that sucks for both drivers, but as long as they are ok, the cars can be fixed and enjoyed again.

According to GTX Johns post on Classracer.com the owner of the Duster has already purchased a replacement

Few moments with a 4 lbs hammer and that '67 would be ready for the next round ....
Really unfortunate ..... they could get crashed going to the local drive-in just the same

There's an original 66 Hemi Belvedere in CO the owner wants to sell. $85k and he can be back on the track with minimal delay.

Wow, that looks like Jim R.'s big block '69. I'm still crying over that.
Now you guys do realize these are purpose built race cars, not just hot rods, right?
The Duster finished 8th in the country last year. He wins national & divisional events with that car. It’s not just a stock duster with a bar, blackjack headers and an over cammed engine.

One in the same...
This would hurt more than wrecking on the drag strip to me. If it’s being worked on and burns it more than likely didn’t grow shop roots but many do and are never enjoyed.

Justin's car was originally built by his father Jeff years ago and was
one of the world's fastest Stock 340 and a real show piece and a member of their family.
John will fix the 67 car as it is so rare that it is well worth a lot of trouble
to repair. My understanding is that this would be it's last race before becoming
strictly a collector car.
I am very blessed to count all three of these good gentlemen as my friends!
I thank our gracious God for allowing them to walk away from this terrible crash!!
that I witness first hand. When it is all said and done our beloved cars pale
in significance to the value of my friend's life!
Hallowed be the name of our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ!!
