That whole flipping over thing really kills your trap speed.

I'm with the other guy.
If you start to lose traction get out of it.
Good thing he was alright.
Good clip

not sure what you are hinting at, but lanes a veteran racer. The car has gone MUCH faster than I'm sure you could ever dream about, with him driving (9's at around 140). Here's a quote from him, BUT no need for stupid, meaningless immature comments from the peanut gallery, who half of, could only wish of going half as fast.

2nd pass car left good, felt stuck then started to get loose, got out of the groove but hooked up again, pulled third and instantly got real loose. i let off and the card started sliding and there was nothing i could do. 1/8 mile was 100mph upside down spinning and slididing like a ****..Spun many times and glass and oil sparks flying everwhare...then stoped and burst into flames. Hit the firefox and the fire went out.

Thats it for now. I feel like a *** and deserve a good flaming. should have left off sooner but it felt ok, nothing i wasnt used to but then just in an instant went out of controll.

Unfortunately it happens. It's easy for us to sit here in our cozy chairs and say he should've let off. Whatever the case, that is one scary ride and it makes me really consider a cage and some safety equipment. Just think how ineffective factory seat belts are when your upside down sliding at 100mph. No thanks.

im with unit, seriously, you dont know how it is until you there. I know for a fact that we have ALL been in a situation that if we could, take it all back. Not turned on that street, looked the other way when that guy was trying you, watever, etc. I know i am regretful when i crashed my ride.......

i hope that guy is alright, which he seemsed to be bolted to the seat, and that he doesnt give up on racing, and thank god he had a hardtop......i cant imagine my vert., even with a cage, spining on its head, going 100plus........

Good video. Really reinforces the need for safety equipment when racing. That thing slid for quite a long time!

I bet. I'd be hesitant to hit the gas too hard outta the hole the next time.
