On-Car Video Of Larry Dixon’s Incredible Non-Crash From Australia – Ride Along On The Wing!


On-Car Video Of Larry Dixon’s Incredible Non-Crash From Australia – Ride Along On The Wing!

Yesterday we showed you down track footage of Larry Dixon’s hair raising incident from Australia where his dragster apparently sheared an axle off and proceeded to blow a full 360 in the middle of the track without hitting anything! The car was turned around in three hours and proceeded to go 4.68 in the final qualifying session of the day! It will actually be back racing today as the event is going on this weekend.

Anyway, now on-board video has surfaced of drag racing’s equivalent of the famed Indy “spin and win” (although Dixon didn’t “win” as this was qualifying and he crossed the center line). The actual win part comes in the fact that he didn’t hit anything and managed to regain control of the car and bring it safely to a stop in the shutdown area. The amazing part of this video is that it gives us the driver’s perspective on the incident and you can literally see how Dixon drove the car out of the spin and if he had simply tucked up in the cockpit, the car would have bounced off of at least one wall and maybe both. Huge skills here, kid! HUGE!

    It almost looks like he tried to steer between the timing blocks. Then stops the car dead nuts in the center of his lane and casually jumps out. Ho hum, another day at the office.

    After his blow over in Memphis some years ago, I would think that this would be ho hum for him. Great driving!
