As someone who used to race my street car on occasion, and who would have been gutted if I'd wrecked; not to mention bankrupt, I can sure sympathize with these guys; each of whom had investments many times larger than I ever did. A wreck is always a possibility the moment you fire your car and can happen to any of us in a split second. As that one guy said, it's part of racing. Still doesn't make it any easier when it happens to you though. Major props to those guys who saved it and a big salute to all who compete. You entertain us all and keep the sport alive.
Cause he's tool old to be racing. Probably been drinking that day too I see way too many people drink while racing. Guess his throttle stop really "stopped" the throttle...from returning lmao

Every race car should have a red panic button on the dash that you punch kills everything I did when I was drag racing comes in handy when the throttle sticks
I’ll never understand why there isn’t a divide down the middle or any kind of barrier it would be insane to lose your life from someone else losing control
My dad almost crashed his drag car through the garage wall into the kitchen after he was checking some stuff in the driveway. He blipped the throttle and it stuck wide open. Luckily he had the thought to just turn it off b/c there was no stopping that thing otherwise. There were two of the blackest streaks you've ever seen going from the driveway into our garage. He did hit the lawnmower a little bit. I can't stress enough, build in an easily accessed kill switch into the driver's compartment. And always check throttle return springs, linkages, and check for potential hangups in the floor pan. I've seen this happen more than once and even had it happen to me in my truck due to a floor mat shifting its position.
My godfather ran dirttrack and his Killswitch was mounted to the wheel he only had to use it once but he hit the wall so hard it snapped the fuel lines from the motor
I'm not a drag-racing dude (I'm an ex-rally-driver [only amateur] from the Group-B era), but I understand the importance of getting away from a crash uninjured. But.. you know what? When I rolled my car or put it into a tree or a ditch or fell off a mountain, I always felt worse when I was back at home, straightening and welding things, if I hadn't taken enough of a battering to show that I'd screwed up. Does that sound odd? I felt guilty. I didn't DESERVE to have got away unscathed. Just like the lovingly-prepared cars of the guys hitting the wall in this video, if mine had given its all to keep me and my co-driver safe I felt I owed it a cracked rib or a badly sprained wrist to show that I appreciated its sacrifice and shared its 'pain'. Maybe I'm just weird...🤔
I have been dreaming of having a car at that level for fifty years. With my luck, if I ever pulled it off, this would be my first pass, I have had to have used up all my luck by now.
1:08 why are these geniuses standing like 1 foot beside a tiny barrier where there is a very real possibility you could be straight up decapitated if something goes wrong
When your throttle sticks, first, jam on your brakes. Then, after a short time, you will realize this is doing NOTHING. Then, while in total panic move, you should come to the realization that you have to turn it off. Hopefully, you will have the off switch somewhere in your reach. BTW, the overhead switch may not be a good idea during this situation unless you have practiced violently turning it off. The car at 4:35 is also a perfect example of how jamming on the brakes takes away your ability to steer.
I'll bet the goobersmooches in the rescue trucks get really wet down there when they get to hit that train horn amd drive a cupple hunnert feet. Like when they used to try to climb the rope in gym class but couldn't quite even get close.

Why do they put those concrete walls alongside the track? Some of the tracks in this video didn't have any walls and the vehicles that went off the track weren't damaged for obvious reasons. I can't see any benefit of the walls; they only make things far more dangerous for the racers and far more hazardous for their cars.
They’ve just accepted that this is part of life crashing like this smh with all the technology we have you figure they have a track that could minimize damage
Green chevelle Kill the ignition , save a car.
Lets see you try to hit the ignition kill while your cars taking off that quickly, it all happens so fast i feel bad for the owner.

Well said sir 🙏
Never build a car with all of your money...
It's truly amazing what modern safety equipment can do to save a life. People walk away from wrecks today that would have previously ended someone.
Yup look at that idiot Earnhardt he refused to wear his safety equipment
Great multi camera shoots of each race. Best drags on RUclips!
Thank you 🙏
My heart jumps everytime I see these guys hit the walls at full speed. Thank god they're alright!
Safety equipment being put to use!
That's why drugs and alcohol shouldn't be allowed while racing
Lots of good ones in there,

That green car spinout hit hard. Hope to see him back out
That Vega save was a good one 👌

Throttle stuck “wide open” is scary enough but on a drag car with that kind of power it must be “absolutely awful”?! 😱😳
That camaro was moving tf out!
All drivers walked away with no injury thanks to the safety equipment in these race cars.
What was YOUR pick for the wildest clip in this video?
For me it was that yellow Vega sending it to the moon! 🚀

Glad everybody was ok
Green chevelle. Throttle stick? Brain stuck. Cut the ignition But I'll give him the throttle stuck. Been there.
5:15 that guy on the bike is absolutely clueless 😅
That scooter guy got a surprise..
Thrills n spills. What it's all about for me!
Throttle stuck...not a fast thinker

6:00 is how I am LOL hood flys open damage is done, to the floor it stays, what else could you do? Car still driving straight right???
OMG, I hope everyone is safe.
What year is the foxbody mustang at 0:10 and the vega at 4:00?
Damn, Green Chevelle gets definitely bad crash.
Too many vehicles get damaged doing high wheelstands. Never figured out why people don't use wheelie bars..
Good to see grass roots racing.
You got to love the walk of shame in the way back! It is priceless.
it's gon buff out
Gotta give it to the starter at 7:50. That's the way it's done!
I feel horrible, years of work down the drain. 1 second your living life,5 seconds later car destoryed.
You sign up for a no prep race knowing the risk is higher than prepped, you crash, maybe you learn not to do it again.

lol at the sirens blasting on the response cars, like 'outa my way dragsters EMS comin through'
They blast the horn whenever there is a crowd of people at the start line and need to get through.
How fast does the white car go
Why not kill the ignition when the throttle sticks?
I would be pissed at myself for wrecking after I won. What a reward for crossing the finish line first. SMH
Purple and yellow car and the white car
0:09 white car
4:36 purple and yellow car
Have to have kill switches in them cars throttle sticks kill the power💯
Where is this track at 6:55? It's very wide open. Even though it's narrow, I'd feel safe running there.

How expensive are these fails??
Destroying your car against the wall on your burnout is an idiotic thing to do
Roughly how much does a crash cost someone? I mean, stock cars are already pretty pricey. These have to be way more, right?

The race track allowing spectators to be against the guardrail is seriously dangerous.
Why do most of the roads seem to be covered in OIL ? and therefore slippery, adding to the disasters ?
lol they lay rubber down... rubber and glue, for *traction*
I mean, really, how hard is it toi build and drive a car n a straight line? You only have to do it for a few seconds?
With the enormous amounts of power these cars have, it’s very difficult
Mushtangs can't eat spectators so they resort to each other or walls hehe
