When a drag race driver saves a car from certain doom, it is a noteworthy achievement. Why? Well mostly because the cars are deisgned to do one thing well, and that is to go in a straight line. High speed cornering, stopping, and handling aren’t part of the program. Dr. James McEntire did one hell of a job keeping his “See Red” Camaro from contracting a bad case of concrete poisoning during Hot Rod Drag Week this year and there’s video to prove it!
He completed a big smoker of a burnout and was booking down on a solid low-9 second when it looks like someone literally pulled the carpet out from under his car. Really good reflex action, a deft touch, and experience all add up to a great save that in other hands may have been a horrifying high speed wreck!
Press play and wince!
