Seventeen hundred horsepower is not a trifling amount of power. That is professional racer horsepower, the kind of figures you’d normally see running mining equipment. Tying that kind of power into the frame of a mud dragging truck is grounds for requiring a mental evaluation. Being willing to don a fire suit, strap into said vehicle, drive up to a starting line and when that pretty green light flashes, go full-throttle to the end is proof that there is a disconnect in the brain somewhere that needs to be addressed. Driver Darrin Wilson apparently is afflicted with a condition, because this is his mud dragster, and as you can plainly see, he’s not having a good day. Wilson wasn’t afraid of the loud pedal whatsoever, but unleashing hell right off of the starting line did him no favors, as “Emagin That” crossed up on itself before going straight up and over the edge of the pit. Wilson was able to walk away from the accident, but the digger is going to need some major surgery before it reappears.
He literally took the checkers…..does that mean he won???? On a serious note….ouch, glad he was able to climb out of the mangled mess.
Happily no one was sitting in the chairs at the end of the track.
