Well, the NHRA Winternationals washed out today in Pomona, but not before some crazy action went down in Stock Eliminator. John Irving, a competitor making a qualifying run in his M/SA Dodge truck experienced a failure of what we are guessing was either a wheel or his wheel studs.
Either way, he ran over the Christmas Tree, a rare and spectacular feat.
The entire sequence was captured by CompetitionPlus.com ace lensman Roger Richards. Go here to see this thing go down frame by frame. It doesn’t get any more wacky than this at the drags!
