- Driver was wearing a seat belt, it was only a lap belt and you can actually see it fly out of the car after it was ripped from the floor. So glad to see the driver walk away from something that could of ended so differently.

What a lucky guy... he left the car like he had just parked it....wow. Blessed man!
That guy getting out of 55 is in shock,the injuries and pain have not caught up with his adrenaline at full tilt. Wonder how he was an hour after the crash?
Enjoyed this very much. I served in a Honest John unit 1966 -1968 fort Hood Tex. Firing section chief. B battery 3rd Bal. 2nd Arty. 1st Armored Div.
The lady's comment lol "He's out the windshiuld!" God damn it nearly killed me of laughter.
Just a crying shame to see a beautiful car like that get turned into junk in seconds.
I'm more amazed at the door slamming wide open and closing shut like perfectly got to love American ingenuity
meri-fucking-cuhh
Not ingenuity, crap engineering, door should have stayed closed. Cars then were built cheap not safe.
The song "I can't drive 55" seems appropriate here.
Jeff Pittel yeah but at the same time it wasn’t really his fault because the other car made him swerve
Dark Gaming Channel how he was in his lane ?
Kyle Kehoe cause he swerved towards him which made him swerve? It’s not rocket science
People don't realize the forces at work when a car goes out of control and/or crashes. It takes a huge amount of energy to get a car that big flipping and rolling and all of that is transferred to you inside. Back in the day I used to install belts into my older cars, because they obviously didn't have them, and I never simply ran a bolt through the floor. And that is what I suspect happened here and that's why the belts pulled out. I backed up the bolt with a 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" steel plate under the car. He's really lucky he walked away, particularly with his legs out the windshield for one or two revolutions. Yow. I'm sure he'll review his seat belt fastening engineering for his next car. I know I sure would. Bummer on the car too.
He was almost ejected from his car omg by the grace of God he survived. One lucky man .
0:40 As a pro photographer for 40+ years, I LOVE the way the female behind the cars at the start is trying so hard to pretend she's a real photographer, using a cell phone. LOL
As far as the crash goes, I believe the driver of the 55 initially responded to poor lane control of the Camaro, which started him going out of control. Just before the crash, notice that the 55 was aimed right at the Camaro and heading straight at him. Then the 55 cuts heavily to the right and flips. I personally think the driver of the 55 did what he could to make sure he didn't crash into the Camaro and possibly cause injury to both drivers in a wreck. He should be commended.
The fact that he walked away is just crazy. He has an angel watching over him.
Sean Swab, so why the F didn`t the douchebag angel just prevent the crash...
Oh yeah, freewheel, the ultimate cop out of idiot delusional religious morons.
(Freewheel as in free will, was a joke, you halfwit).
Judging by the legs out the window, I'd say he lost by two feet.
And two pounds in his pants
Alice Gilbert 😂👍
Alice Gilbert ..That’s not Funny bro..Wait a minute, YEAH THAT WAS FUNNY 😂😂😂 !!! But seriously I’m glad he didn’t get ejected.
Fuzzy Butkus ..That’s Funny 😂😂
That was a darn good one!
After all said I'm glad the Chevy driver is alive and he walked away for a minute while the car was rolling and I saw his legs out the window I thought it was going to end in a bad way I'm glad it didn't cars can be fixed and repaired human life only comes around once god bless
Thank you. Somebody with some sense.
@Robert H Cochran might make a few bucks selling what's left of it.
I believe the driver of the '55 chevy was counter steering from the '70 camaro's poor lane control which caused this...
I saw that. The 55 swerved because the Camaro was coming at him! The Camaro should have lifted when his big fat tires kept breaking loose and not going straight!!!
SanDiegoHotRod i do agree with your statement. But the driver of the 55 should have lifted as well because he was going sideways from the very beggining of the race and he could see that the camaro was out of control. The track is the biggest part of the problem, with no traction to be had.
Yeah, he should have lifted, but it definitely started with the Camaro.
That's called racing
Ron Davis
Agreed
wow. the first rolling his leg already out the windshield. he is lucky, he can walk away from the car.
JC Journey that’s why race cars have race seats and racing harnesses and roll cages but doesn’t seem like he wanted any of that
@@stayboosted1966 well.... he probably does now!
Amen grateful is he&all "#1fan 💘 🙏 🚗 👪 friends near &far "🎸 🌹 2019 aloha 🍀 💋
He went head over heels for his 55 Chevy!
I worked medical at a track and saw a lot of hairy stuff. I am also a retired firefighter and dealt with a lot of vehicular carnage. I watched that video several times. What I saw coming out of the car was likely not the seat belt. Both ends would have to fail simultaneously - not likely. The injuries at the track were generally not serious, with a few exceptions. The injuries and deaths I dealt with as a firefighter were directly proportionate to the use or non-use of the belts. The driver in the '55, I'm convinced, was not belted in. The starter should have been monitoring that. Notice that the driver was favoring his right leg. I suspect some form of injury there. Was he lucky? Oh, yes. I'll lay off the IQ factor.
I agree, no belt at all, just a roll bar as safety equipment. Many others could have been killed by his stupidity. He was very lucky and I am glad he was not seriously injured, I just hope he never races again with other people present.
Why wear a helmet if your not going to put on a seat belt. Preferably a harness! Buy a clue idiot your lucky to be alive and even luckier to have walked away! NEVER PUT WHEEL IN THE CAR AT THE BIG END!!! EVER!!!
At first I assumed that he was walking funny, after exiting the car, because he hurt his legs but then I realized that he probably shit his pants! LOL
lol...Q you're right...lol
Q i see it now...
Q Or He pulled some foam from the seat due to pucker factor.
Q fuckin hilarious dude, nice one
that would be appropriate since he has shit for brains not driving with restraints. Dumb ass!
What I learned today:
Built to the nutz chevy motor: $5,000,
5 point safety harness: Priceless
All jokes aside though I'm glad to see that he was okay and not seriously hurt or killed.
I think the chrome strip on the left front fender is still good!
I'm calling dibs on the left park light!
I hate to see classic cars get beat up like this.
@@PelonMusk that car isn't plastic you dumbfuck
@@PelonMusk you re a fuckin moron
@@PelonMusk cars from the 90's and 00's are alot plastic. Classic cars like those are all metal
@@PelonMusk You seem to struggle with simple tasks.
@Robert H Cochran thoese 60's and 70's muscle cars are beautiful
he's lucky to be alive
Strack007 I bet that dummy wears a seatbelt next time...😒😒😒
Lee Jackson read the description dummy
Lee Jackson hid did you can’t drag race without one and the seat belt was ripped out of the car
Man thank God for him being able to walk away from that one!
Wow, one of the luckiest men alive
Glad to see him walk away, always another car
Wow!!! Thrown out of the car and still holding on to the steering wheel!!!! God bless You...
Insane , that's why the proper safety equipment is necessary
im still amazed this guy got out of this.
Yep he thought the other car was coming thank God he's ok
Nobody would’ve even given it a second thought if it was like an 86 Trans am .it would’ve been that sucks glad the guys alive.
I think he's got angels watching him
and laughing their asses off too!!
My old mans got an ultimate set of tools. I can fix it!
Is that you Spicoli? damn man where you been lol
mr. kill Said Jeff Spicoli after wrecking his friend's brother's Camaro...
Awesome dude!
Fred Flintstone couldn't have done it better
That never gets old, hahaha, legs out the windshield, no seatbelt, what a fool
That is a gorgeous 55 Chevy he's lucky he walked away
What the heck ! There's a better time to look for change down the seat than in the middle of a wreck!!
who says old cars with lap belts aren't safe, guy got out like 'whatever'
lol
Just extremely lucky. He easily could have been chopped in half.
@@MIckveli2
You n SAR
Fucking ass
When I was a kid, it was common to let the smaller kids stand up on the front seat. My parents thought by throwing their arm across my younger brother was good enough to stop him in a crash. Unbelievable. No wonder the highways and streets were dangerous, besides that, no three point seat belts, airbags, hard metal around you, none collapsing body, etc.
Now that was some awesome stunt driving!! Went from 100-Dipshit real quick!
the slowed down audio makes it even better.
How the hell did he walk away from that? That's freaking nuts!
Over corrected and totaled that beautiful piece of machinery
standard race driver signal "i'm ok" is one leg out the windshield. signal for "i'm really ok" is two legs out the windshield
Now just imagine how rollovers we're back when these cars were thriving 😬😬
Lets just hope the driver learned from this experience. Hopefully he doesn't give up on racing, rebuilds the car, and installs (and wears) the proper harness...
Glad he survived this incident.
I'm sure his dad with get him a new car!
There's no rebuilding that car it's fucked
This video brought to you by the number "5" which is how many points your safety harness should have.
it is evident that the track is very narrow, for the power of those cars
That just made every body's 55 Chevy go up in value, another one bites the dust. A restoration on a roll like that will be costly, the frame will be shot, along with front and rear end components, ahhh it just twists everything.
The driver started taking the emergency exit. In the end, he opted for the traditional way out.
Why was he driving with his feet ?
I have never seen anything like that in my 60 years of life good luck man
When he got out of 55 and people were running to check on him...I heard him shout....did y'all smell that???? The smell is comin" from my shorts????
.
There is so much wrong here ya just don't know where to start...…..
Camaro tuning right and top heavy fast 55 trying too over steer !
Well no wonder he wreaked he was Watching the road with his one brown eye .
Instead of both eyes .
He added a lap belt, but didn't reinforce the attachment points like factory installed belts. The stress just pulled the bolt through the floorboard, might as well have no belt at all.
I had '55, '56 & '57 Chevys and none of them came with seat belts. A street car that's 50 years old has some rust in the floorpan where the aftermarket belts attach. Even the huge washers I put under the floor would pull through a weakened floor and the seat belts become unattached.
This rollover was extremely violent. Enough so that even a belt that stayed attached could even have a latch fail. Bottom line is that driver is one of the luckiest in the world to walk away from the crash. I hope he didn't end up with severe internal injuries as a result.
Glad you were okay brother!
I didn't realize he ended up on the hood at the end! DAMN
"only a lap belt"..... Are you sure?? Who the hell would drag race with only a lap belt?!
@Some Other Dude Only a moron would drag race using only a lap belt.
Darryl and his other brother Darryl.
The kind of idiots who always say "it'll never happen to me".
Woa! Thats the first time i see somebody drving upside down!!!👋🤣
I am almost in tears,bc of the beautiful classic car .
This is what happens when you race Show Cars, hate to see this 55 get destroyed.
Just because you have a race car don't mean you know how to drive it.
And just because you have a fast car, doesn't make it a racecar . . . 🙍😓
Thank God he walked away from that crash. It could've been a lot worse.
The driver is blessed to be alive. NO SEAT BELT ?
He should have had a three point harness at least.
Never race without a full harness! Unless you're on a bike.
rradtke815ify thank you your absolutely correct roll cage too
We were all given a right foot. Most of us know how to lift it as needed.
Rule #1, focus on your own pass.
If he didn't react he would have flown by no problem.
Brings a tear to the eye seeing that..
I feel bad for the car
Me too
he must have had a death grip on the steering wheel
It's not a car anymore.
@Mike Barnes Classic Chevys are not just Chevys their...memories.
Sad, he was walking lyk robot 🤖 something is very bad there internal injuries all his body , get well soon Mr !.
Drives me crazy not knowing what the outcome of this was. They never should have been racing in the pits any way
I swear I can hear a lion during the slo-mo part
I hope they aren't clapping for his driving performance
hey dude! invest in a harness next time!
You can't get one installed in a 55
@@caroledowns2051 you are dumb I can put a seatbelt on my motorcyle if I wanted to
A friend put a roll bar and 3 point harness in his '67 mustang convertible and another in a '59 Fairlane, both for racing, and many others I know have. They can be installed in anything just you can't keep that exact stock appearance but I think the trade off is worth it if going to be doing this with the car. It can be done in a tasteful way that will look decent.
the car in the left lane caused this, he strays over and the 55 tries to getaway from in and rolled it
+flavour1970 Well yeah he certainly influenced the turn of events that's for sure.
The guy in the left lane DIDNT wreck!!! Not his fault.
$100,000 Street Rod build with zero safety equipment, dude is lucky he's still alive
im sure his next build with be a lot more safe to race
Pure genius. Neither of us has a clue. Write on...
😭🤣 I almost died when I saw his feet
A) Who sanctioned this race with no safety equipment?
B) Why would anyone who builds a car with that much power have no fire suit or restraints?
C) Why do people continue to race on unprepped tracks?
Is that at PPIR in the Springs ?
Real steel that’s what saved him.
Hey if your gonna flip it do it right! That was sweet!!
he was already committed to coming out the front windshield, why use the door after all that
I think he thought no would guess he forgot to put his goddam safety belt on.
Any landing you walk away from is a good one.
Read the comments, he was strapped in. Buuuut, might want to upgrade. Glad he's okay.
Glad he walked away but sad for this classic.
with just a lap belt, car should not have passed tech
Helmet not strapped eighter
I like how the guy in the Camaro completely just bailed the scene and didn't bother to even stop and see if the guy was okay and to help out if he could .I would have. Could have been a lot worse I'm sure. Thank God he was ok.
VERY VERY GOOD SHOW AND ROLL..MY 55 POST IS ON THE WHEELS...LOOOWERED
No suit? No 5-Point harness?
Stupid. Where is the safety gear
No problem lol
Zero fuks given... OLD SCHOOL
dobbins2550 you are so right he should have never been on the track
Everything in the video was perfect except for the opposite driver who caused the accident the guy in the 55 Chevy is lucky to be alive because he shouldn't even have had the accident there was a loser on the left who thought he was Evel Knievel and thought he was John Force Racing for a hundred million dollars and a sponsorship it's called letting off the gas and controlling your car the guy was so squirrelly it is a natural instinct to pull away from somebody when it looks like they're going to ram right into you
God was certainly watching over you
I totally agree with you.
Dan Tomlinson Watching? And doing nothing, apparently.
Why did God let the crash happen?
driver : "5 points safety harness ... got it "
5 point safety harness 2 hands on the wheel 2 feet on the floor and one ass on the seat.
The fabulous Hudson has lost control!
Lucky man for sure....shame about the car.
He was walking like he had a loaded diaper. 💩
Lol!!!
Beyond loaded... 😅😅😅
VinnTech 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤦🏾♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦
Well,he might have shit his pants for good
He was working on the beginning of a limp.
Most insane thing ive seen in quite awhile
That's going to make a good calendar!
Sad end to that '55......dude should be jailed for destruction of a classic car!!
Holly Fuck!😠 What the hell? Who is this sanctioning body? Nobody checked his seat belts? This guy could have been killed! His legs were dangling out of the windshield. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! You can clearly see his legs in alot motion. Wow! Glad to see he walked away but man alive!
Just Hangin out in my 55 rollin down the road
That sucks! He walked away from that car ( luckily) not even looking back he was probably crying having just completely totalled his mint 55 Chevy
another classic car destroyed by stupid yanks
