True Statement!!


If he has one it is not connected to his graphic display , so he wasn't paying attention to it.

Why try to be a hero? The car has already spun and he got out of it. Live to fight another day and not looking like a fool for not knowing how to drive your $80,000 car. We've all seen it, a car gets out of shape, the driver is out and back in it, then gets introduced to the wall.

I like the butt gyro comment, I've never heard that one before. Very true. Everybody screws up, so I'm not going to dogpile on the guy. But it does look to me like when the car first started moving right he overcorrected to the left, turning the steering wheel almost a quarter turn. Less than half that amount of movement would have probably kept him going straight down the track. But still I agree with the others, that run was over. He never should have got back in it.

The graph shows that he completely let off the throttle then stabbed it. The car was already loose and in between all this he counter steered twice and hit the brakes. Bad driver decisions. Its like I didn't lose it that time I'll try again. Just because you can write the check and talk the talk....doesn't mean you can walk the walk.

One thing to consider is steering feel. Most modern cars have electric P/S and they have little feedback. So even if your butt dyno is well calibrated, if you can't feel where the tires are going it can be hard to correct. LX guys are welcome to bash me about how good their steering feel is. or not.

Both my Challengers had very good feel/feedback. However, they were the hardest cars to launch of anything I ever owned, and mine didn't have 800 horsepower. My SRT-8 would get loose in 3rd gear easily. I never tried to be a hero though.

I agree ^. This guy feels bad enough. One thing for certain, you don't crash a car sitting in your easy chair typing on the internet.

I only ever got out of shape once and it was due to an oil down before my run...easy answer: if you feel it going away LIFT!! abort the run. Only bad things happen if you get back into it.
Some people have to learn the hard way though...

Um, no, he's driving a Ram. He also has a 1000hp Hellcat Charger. He's set a few records with the Demon. So he actually owns zero Fords.
But carry on.

Most Demons will never get driven on the dragstrip. I congratulate the guy for trying.
