incredible footage! my heart goes out to all of the guys who went through this, it must have been scary and so embarrassing not to mention the loss, the cost and disappointment
The first one, the mustang having to lift to keep from wearing "another bumper" off reminded me of my Omni bodied car at Milan dragway one day. It came up and just wasn't going to come back down on it's own until the bumper was worn half way up the quarter so I lifted a little, it finally set back down after the 60'. I have no clue what it ran, I nearly shit my pants, immediately went back to the trailer, loaded up and left and had a set of bars on it for the next week. I supposed if I raced in a class that didn't allow them I'd figure a way to deal with it but setting it up to bump and put the front end right back down makes the car so much more consistent and let's face it, us poor guys are bracket racing. Consistency is everything.
Damn, always hurts me seeing these beautiful cars getting destroyed, my heart goes out to all the guys who spend thousands of hours and dollars building these things lol
Aw, the good old days. Whittier Boulevard. My '72 Chevelle with the 400 Pontiac wouldn't break a 12 second quarter but stood on her hind legs. The bench seat? Sexy as hell with the glass-packs and the 5 spoke Cragars.
"Stood on her hind legs", but couldn't run better than 13's in the quarter? C'mon man, I've been drag racing since the 90's, and I've NEVER seen a 13 second car pull the wheels, not even close. A 72 Chevelle with a Pontiac motor in it... Now that's quite a mutt.
E tanta potência que o chassis torce na passagem e o carro perde o centro de gravidade que acaba destracionando e vai direto no muro de contenção . São verdadeiras máquinas de tirar o fôlego. Parabéns.kkk
55 chevy at 5:55 has changed its mind and decided to park itself back where it was before it was a drag car. It would rather sit in the woods and rust away again, LMAO.
@@1994clue It's NOT the track workers responsibility to put out YOUR burning car. You carry your own extinguisher in the car, or install a Halon fire system made for race car fires.
Always makes me laugh when they say "stay back,let the safety crew do their thing" then a load of people wearing shorts and vests start running down the track,lol and the last one,when the fire started did that bloke try blowing it out before trying with his foot? Good effort though🤣
@@graveyard13 R. Bet his heart was like pumping massive doses of Adrenaline when he started to slide, and thinking he was going to crash into that cement barrier? He pulled it out at the end tho. Lots of cash in those cars.
after years of racing you'd think they make the lanes bigger or have a new system of side rails the fact that they live in the past keep them from progressing in to the future
Bigger lanes? No, it's part of the sport. As far as guard rails go, yes, they have been greatly improved. Some older tracks can't afford to upgrade them. I'd rather take the old rails, rather than no track to race on at all.
Can someone who is into drag racing explain why they wouldn't use locked diffs for straight line drags? It looks like a lot of crashes are caused by too much torque on one tire.
All these crashes were caused by having way too much power for certain vehicle. You can't have a couple of tousands horsepower in you car and pretend like everything will be ok every time. It's only a matter of time. Ask pro's.
That Anglia tho at 2:23, damn nice vehicle totaled, WTF? That white 55 Chevy at 5:38 tho, lucky for him their was no wall to smash into and total his car! Just took a wild ride in the hay field, yeeha! Lol, just got to clean the hay off his vehicle and he's G2G, lol!!!

Yeah, ridiculously powered engines, stupid drivers,, stupid spectators and best looking cars turned to be mutants, all contribute to world's most boring and stupid car event called : DRAG RACING...I can not beleive, those people who created such beautiful cars enjoy such a silly kind of event.
@@mehmetmutluoglu1542 beautiful? Lol I'm certain half the people that race them don't think so and they don't build them for that reason unfortunately. Simply one of the most unattractive mustangs ever, right next to the 99-04 series.
Yes. It's tough to stick upwards of 800hp, even in a car set up for drag racing, on a prepped track. Any little amount of moisture, oil, or even dirt on the racing surface will cause slicks to lose grip and make the car dart to one side or the other. Drag racing tires run at really low pressure (like 8-10psi) and have almost zero sidewall, so when the car starts swapping around sometimes all the driver can do is hang on and try to keep it off the guardrail
