  • Holy Smokes! What a save!

    Incredible in-car footage of a super comp style dragster looping a 360 just after the 660' mark at Atco Raceway in New Jersey. Wowzer!

    It's really no different than trying to glue them back on after she has her way.

    Golly Ned. I wouldn't have guessed those little bicycle wheels could even steer the thing like that.

    And the ambulance was already pulling out at the other end of the track when he got there. You sure don't see that every day. WOW!

      I'd need a new suit after a ride like that. Who'da thought one of those would go full circle without touching the walls.

            More than steering with the "bicycle wheels" was involved. Replay Ron's short clip and at about the :12 sec mark you can hear the driver, Any Taub, whack the throttle to bring it around.

              Sorry, but I watched that vid way to many times to not remember it.

                Okay, I need to learn that move. When the rear view mirror becomes a forward view mirror, it's time for a radical trajectory adjustment. I might just need that someday, but don't y'all tell Unit about that.

                  You mean you never had to make a "Felony U-ey"??? Lock wheel hard left.. (or right). Blip the throttle enough to fish tail a wee one and straighten as you go the other way... Throttling up as you change directions is reccomended....

                    I think he's done it and killed some cones and they asked him not to do it any more.
