anybody see his 1/4 mile time?
probably didn't know he'd have to stay ON the track to get a good time!

wonder what he was thinking just before??...i'll show 'em...all that safetycrap just adds weight...slows me down...don't need it to put in a fast time!!

There are a few things that don't quite add up in that video.

He's not racing against anyone, so where did the 14.XX come from in the other lane.

The dial-in on his window says 12.30.

He crossed the centerline well before any finish line, so how did he end up with a 10.76 time on the boards.

Too bad he crashed, but like someone else said, that car never should have been on asphalt let alone a drag strip.

I'm assuming those times are from a previous race.

where do you guys draw the line? so to speak, at what point in time do you opt for 5-6 pointers instead of lap belts, when do you opt for a helmet gloves suit etc?

I think 11.99 and quicker in my day. The pos was only dialed in a 12.30. It
didn't look safe enough to drive any speed. Somebody mentioned Freemont
DragStrip. I don't rember it looking like that.

My mistake, definetly Freemont. Fat Jack's 46 Ford flipped there at the
NDRA Drags right about where that 55 landed. The 46 was higher than the
mph/et sign. The driver Al Ventura wasn't hurt. It met all safety specs though.
