Are funny cars really designed to survive a 330mph (or 200mph) crash?
Not in the same way a Nascar is designed to survive it's top speed crash scenarios.

Looks like his cage worked at 302 MPH…
It looked to me like his fire suppression kept the flames down for a bit but was spent before he had the hard hit with the wall when the flames erupted again.
I hope he makes a full recovery and isn’t burnt too badly.
Kudos to the engineers that designed that cage and other safety gear.
