Default How to end a dragday.....
Now, this is probably the weirdest drag-accident that I've ever seen.....

I won't spoil it, just watch the video: http://drag.fawcus.com/feel-the-noise/roger_moore.wmv

Yep Gonzo, that's the one.

Definately not a good way to drag your car.

That's why i am a little hesitant about drag racing my car. One little spot can be a little wet and POW! Into the guardrail. Not much room for recovery.

yeah it was a left rear flat, you can see it give way just as it leaves the line. what makes this weird is that if the left was flat, it should've spun to the left and not the right, right? i think the driver did a great job though. notice how quick the tire went and how quick he let off the throttle. that happens lightening quick and takes some good reaction speed IMO. a lesser driver would've left his foot on and probably taken out a couple spectators
