It’s Up! It’s Down! It’s Sliding Around! Watch The Beater Bomb Mustang Make One Wild Pass At Thunder Valley!

No prep racing tends to get a bit sketchy. High power cars and low grip tend to mix about as well as oil and water, and we’ve seen some tail-happy trips down the strip that resulted in tons of skid marks, and we don’t just mean on the asphalt. But to not only hook on little to no surface prep, but hang and hold the front end in the air, now that’s the combination of a well-set car, making the most of what you’ve got to work with, and more luck than a leprechaun, and that’s just what the Beater Bomb Mustang had during this pass. Not only did the nose come up and stay up, but towards the end of the wheelie the car was making a move towards the wall. Driver Joey simply flings the Fox back into the groove like it’s a normal move and carries on like nothing is wrong. Well…maybe not so much, if the wide-eyed expression seen after the run is any indication…

      Guess you aren’t old enough to have raced when there was no such thing as “track prep” that was the norm sweep the strip off and race.

      Unless you were lucky enough to run after the A/FX or funny cars got finished with their rosin or bleach burn outs.
