Barely safe to go down the highway, what a death trap

Talk about loose ends! He should of went through the car and tighten up all those loose ends. That classic 55 shouldn't been on the track until he went through the suspension and upgraded it

About the same as when the blown Orange 46 Ford coupe took out the right side mph/et at the street rod drags….. he didn’t know the pedal worked both ways either.

A friend and I used to own a car together and we raced during this time period. They had a minimal tech inspection before you could run. But they didn't check any of your welds or important stuff. This car obviously wasn't put together very well.

I lived here in the 70s and 80s I used to walk 5 miles to Baylands and watch drag racing and then walk 5 miles back when I was a kid. I even once found the keys to the whole Dragstrip that they lost and returned them to them. My stepdad used to race here by 88. I was already in the military. Great to see the race track it’s not there anymore. They used to be an abandoned theater right near there too pretty cool.

Ok

😊

I didn't read all the comments but is anyone going to mention seat belts? Even back then they were mandatory, I mean how did this even happen?

Lift!lift!

Looked like junk from the burnout box. Not even a seatbelt?

We call these outlaw tracks they overlook a lot of safety equipment

Loose nut behind the wheel.

Is there any pics of wrecked car ?

What a ride

Wow! Praise be to God he is still alive! with just his feelings hurt. I missed a Really good one! My friends we all used to go to Freemont from 1978 to 1981 and to bad we did not see this Miracle! One that really comes mind is a wreak i seen at the Winter Nationals Beeline Dragway 1978 were this Station wagon Vega lost control a 167mph. It was so BAD the whole car came apart in pieces just all over the track. I do remember the 454 engine flying tree 50' height that FLEW complete across the OTHER SIDE of the track, this was shut down for about 1 1/2hr till they cleaned up the mess/ and took the survivor to the hospital

I see in the comments that the car ran low 12's, that car would never passed tech inspection for a car running 13.99 or quicker.

Boogyin

Man that thing was slow

The car wasn’t going that fast didn’t have that much power that I could see looks like he tried to make look like it did and lost it

Wait no Simpson 5 point seat belt in use ?????????

Amusing an to walk away from it. Wow wow😅

Two-lane Blacktop meets Gone in 60 Seconds.

Where's the interview ?

I guess he didn't lift?

Not a shoebox.

Jackson Bros Videos Shoe box nightmares

Wow, the way the car deposited him onto the ground as it rolled! And he was standing up before it stopped!!! Well done sir! Very Junior Johnson-ish! You are lucky!!!

Look at those times that’s was supposed to be fast back then

PROVE IT WENT 8 SEC 8.0 8.99🤔

9 what🤔

And that’s the reason for safety equipment…..friggin retard.

I saw this video 'fresh' 13 years ago. Still a favorite!😛

How much nitrous was on it

That car made it through tech? 😳

Natural instinct is to attempt to correct by turning the wheel. However, like losing control on ice, the best bet is to steer into the skid. Glad he survived.

Maybe you should learn how to drive

This was my home track from 1975 to 1992

WTF! IS THAT HIS GHOST?

Nice hit 👍🚀

How in the fuck did that turd pass inspection?

Crazy how that thing disintergrated

Safety equipment. You can NEVER have too much. Please be safe everyone

Solid 14 second run.

Tech inspection: yep everything looks good 👍🏼

should have shut it down when he felt wheel hop out of the box watch the hop at the launch

My dad sold parts for Vic Hubbard's for over 20 years I was born in 83 and I remember this track

Did ya put the seat bolts in Sonny ? Not yet Don, but it’s OK I’ll put them in later.

Man wtf did I just watch. That man cheated death right there.

Good thing he wasn't wearing his seat belt.

Hey man, what gear set you running in the 9" ? I plan on running a Th350 as well im thinking you have a 4:10 ?
