When you see a high powered drag car completing a burnout at the strip, especially one with a short wheelbase, realize that the person behind the wheel is busy working to keep the car in a straight line. As you will see in this video, it isn’t the easiest task and things can go wrong in a hurry. We’tr not sure where this was filmed, but the little car which looks like a handful sitting still turned into a truly wicked machine when the hammer was dropped in the water box.
Once again, llike in every other drag racing video we have show where Armco guardrails are present, they amplify the situation. The car hits the wall where one of the support beams is positioned and, well you’ll see. If this had been Jersey barriers or a poured wall the results would have been totally different!
Doesn’t it seem like there should be someone in the background screaming, “Why did you turn?! Why did you effing turn?!” If you don’t get that reference, hit YouTube and search it up.
He got behind on the steering.Corrected too little too late.
It looked to me like something in the steering broke … at least I hope that’s what it was …

The steering wheel came off ! ??
looks like the r/rear axle broke and when that happened the l/side tire turned the car into the wall
