Might be BEFORE you cross the centerline, this is from the old Fremont Dragstrip. Make sure and watch till the end.The driver is very lucky to say the least!

The old Don Renfrow vid. Seen it a hundred times. Still can't believe he gets up and walks away.

It's a good thing the car was well built, with all the equipment to keep the driver safe.




For real, like that cool ejection seat(!).

Sounds like his throttle got stuck??? The engine didnt seem to stop revvving until the car turned over on its roof!

Watch and listen, its a great example of poor driving and car construction. He gets back on it AFTER he has changed lanes and BEFORE he has complete control back.

This happened because his car is clapped out and he tried to be all western about it and ended up in the ditch where he should have left it.

so i hadnt seen this before, i watched it the first time and was thought, "wow, that guy out near the guardrail was lucky he didnt get hit", i rewond it to watch as the car came at him to see him dive for cover, and then i realized, "hmmm, there is no guy out by the guardrail as the car approaches..."

i also like how when he stands up, his body movements (arms) look exactly like hes saying a bunch of curse words.

He thought he was Falfa from American Graffiti.

Have you ever seen this kind of crash with a street mounted car...

I think it was too light and no safety...

Yeah but maybe he thought he had to get into both lanes since it was a "Two Lane Blacktop" copy.
