It is not very often we talk about a drag car getting off into the weeds during a run anymore but that’s because drag strips have all but eliminated that possibility. There was a time way back in the day when it was a common thought that having some “runout” would allow the racers to save cars and keep them out of the wall. If you have ever watched a drag car get into the grass, the theory is nice on paper but normally ends in tears in practice.
In this video the guys from Urban Hillbilly Action videos caught some action (which we think is from the Coffeyville, Kansas event) that features a narrow tire Nova taking on a big slick equipped Camaro. The big Camaro gets out and rolling and then breaks traction and actually climbs a curb and mows some of the grass on the strip next to the street where the action is taking place. Amazingly the guy gets the car back on the asphalt before it decided to do something really horrendous.
There are a couple of angles of this video. The ant’s eye view from the camera in the middle of the “track” is certainly interesting to watch.
Bottom line? This guy got away with one BIG TIME.
Curbs, trees how about adoing a propane tank to hit?
That was on Richland Ave, almost downtown Kansas City
