This is about as close a call as you’ll ever see at the strip. We can say that this is the only time we’ve ever seen a starter actually jump for his life to get away from a wayward car. Aussie Racer Rod Hadfield was behind the wheel of his ’32 roadster completing a burnout when things go way wrong. You’ve gotta see this!
We apologize for the short shorts that the starter is wearing, if we had a time machine we’d go back to 1985 and hand the guy a pair of pants, but that’s neither here nor there. What we’re wondering is why the hell he waited so long to get the hell out of dodge! We’ve watched this like a hundred times and that guy barely made it out of there with his skin.
Thanks for the tip Brett White!
