All I know is that has to put a big dent in the wallet.

not to many people here w/ a Pro-Stock car... It's a little different doing a few WOT in a 10 second car then something like that.

Not many here have 1300HP like this car.

I've 'stood on it' before on the street but only with a Sure Grip, never with a spool. Spools make things worse once you get loose. The 2 spooled cars I've owned were only run on the track.

In one of the last shots in that video there was a pile of white stuff off the side of the road - snow, or sand? If it's snow well there's one more reason for it not to hook, too cold. No burnout to heat the tires, too many things going wrong to add up to a nice pass.

I know the guy in this video... in fact, I offered him my car for the OKC boys the following weekend.. But he had already withdrawn...

This road is deserted in the middle of Calif, far away from traffic.. and this is the section of road he's done quite of bit of testing on... He said that one of the rear shocks broke and thats why it ended the way it did..

I wish him all the luck in the world in getting the car back together..

Darwin award ..

The only answer is to take full reasonability for their complete lack of judgement .
It does not get any more embarrassing for these clowns , live and learn .

His car his money and this type of racing is what he wants to do. I think its dumb as heck but I have watched 100s of street race videos and sat there and said "Boy that looks like fun and they sure are fast" These guys and these races have been going on for ever.One thing I have noticed about street racers If you call them out you will get a race. Most all the Heads up guys here all they do is hide in their garages and key board race. I'm glad he is alright and hope he gets the car back together.Looks like a fast ride.

If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL
