Gordyville

I was there and saw it from about 25ft away! Probably the most excitement at the pull.
 
Correct no one was hurt, I had family that was at the beer stand when this happened. Said it was cool to see, glad they were not closer though. Said it fubared a few pieces of the building though.
 
IIRC the whole end of the axle came off and went with the rim. But I was not there, I am sure someone else can confirm.
 
I was told the planetary snapped off and tried to exit the building in a hurry but the wall was in the way.. It did minor damage to the wall. I dont think that door can open anymore as it bent the girder above the door down quite a bit. It is lucky no one got hurt cause right behind he announcers booth is usually about 50 people standing there... they will not let anybody walk on the end of the track behind the sand anymore when a tractor is hooked to the sled.
