For the car guys on here... Try not to cry too much over the death of a nice hotrod

DADBURN, he was hanging out of the car, very lucky.

Well, since you said it, I was cringing about the hot rod....till I noticed his legs sticking out the windshield! Holy crap!

I would be pissed at the Camaro driver. He kept sliding over and the guy that wrecked was trying to avoid him.

This is incredible. I watches a few times. His legs were already out of the windshield on the last couple rolls. He is extremely lucky. Someone was watching over him.

And that is why you don't run modded cars on a non dedicated track. No traction whatsoever on there. He's lucky.

why in the world would you not wear a seat belt?

Watch the '55 closer, he broke loose (around 1:08) and started sliding towards the other car, then lost it during the correction. 

 

As for the seat belt, those only have a lap band... And the reason a lot of tracks won't let cars that index over a certain speed run without having a 5 point.  Hell, if it was my track if you don't at least have a shoulder and lap band, you wouldn't be allowed to run it.

I like drag racing, but those guys are morons.  Both of them.  There's so much going wrong there it's hard to know where to start.
