You guys are very lucky to have avoided injury. That said, this video dould be testiment to all the hi hp guy's, and even guy's who's cars hook very well. NHRA rules and regs are there for the sole purpose of safety. The bell housing is a very overlooked mod cause it has no 'bling" value. I dont know about you guy's but my feet are priceless!

Sucks a bunch about the car though. My reaction would have been MUCH more colorfull.

Apparently he is a moron that doesn't know how to properly do a burnout with a manual. Then you see the dumbass's standing around knowing his clutch is what's smoking. Do they have him stop, not because they think its amusing.

There's another video of a ZO6 frying the clutch instead of tires. But the camera guy walks in front of the vette while the clutch is smoking. warranty fixed the vette. Maybe GM needs to see some of the videos floating around before warranty work is approved.

All future Darwin Awards candidates IMO.
