We don’t know what the hell is going on this week, but we were tipped off to yet another frightening drag race wreck video that features what Brock Yates would have called, “a whole BUNCH of fire,” if he were still in the American Sports Cavalcade booth with Steve Evans. The video comes from the oft shown Houston Motorsports Park and it features a formerly beautiful Chevelle self immolating.
If you watch closely, at about five seconds into the video, the car leaks something on the rear tire. Once one tire gets into the slop, the (we presume) spooled rear pushes the car violently and immediately to the right, into the wall. If that wasn’t bad enough, the nightmare escalates 100 fold when the car then careens across the track and hammers the wall head-on again, although this time it exploded into a massive ball of fire.
Reportedly, the driver was OK, but we’re sure that he’s reconsidering the world of drag racing after living through this. We know that we would.
