I just don't really understand the charm of not allowing them to run bars ..

Except, they wreck stuff and people want to see it so the people putting on the show encourage it

Great until someone driving or watching gets hurt or killed

He is lucky to be alive. That car has gotten off the ground before this. Seams like it squats more then others in the rear, and is letting air get under the car.

look at 26 - 27 seconds in you can actually see how high the car bounced through all the dust smoke and debris....damn hard for me to believe the chute wasn't pulled and aborted when the car started up the first time at that speed but then again he was racing and I was sitting on the couch very happy to hear he walked away, that's amazing

I know this won't be a popular comment.

That driver should have stepped off the gas after the first wheelie, not very smart to get back in it. He got what he ...

He's not a very smart driver, imo.

Unpopular, probably. But true. There have been about a zillion wrecks after the run was trash. High wheelstands, way out of shape THEN they get back in an unsettled car and bounce it off the walls. OK, OK, Mr. Brave Speedlove, you have big balls. Now, grow a brain.

Exactly right......The guy's crazy......very rarely does a peddle job come out OK after something like that......and the exact same thing's happened to him before, but it didn't end up so bad the last time.......


If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......

I don't think he had time after the front end set down, it came right back up and it was a done deal after that. I think they are nuts for not running bars

That was a special race, outlaw 10.5 vs radial. The O/L cars needed to run smaller tires and no bars. I would never run a car like that with no bars. They don't have the data to run that way and way too much power management needs to happen to run with no bars. That's my arm chair look at it FWIW
