  9. wowzers! I am more than way surprised to see that being done with total disregard to public safety, especially after recent incidents.
    That being said,
    Man o man thats crazy looking. does he look through the floor to drive?
    I would have stood and watched too, but maybe thinking of a quick exit plan if needed. prolly not possible to do in a blink though

    Okay, I can admit that there is some cool factor to a wheelstander. Like man that thing got some balls. Then there's the underside of them, that's smelly and stupid when no saftey precausions are taken for the bystanders.
     
  20. Holy shit! Did everyone NOT learn their lesson from the Tennessee incident? I can't freakin' believe this.

  22. If you remember the Pro-modified was just supposed to do a burnout,all four wheels on the ground. You can't control fate.

    Look's a bit irresponsable in my opinion.
     
  25. Yep, the first thing I thought of was those 6 people killed by the pro-mod car... but yea, I would have stood there and wathched it to!

  26. The fact that you got away without incident that time lowers the odds of you getting away with it next time. Food for thought.

    If you decide to do it again, why not line the road with your club's cars? That way the people who pay are the ones who should pay.

    The old place you would catch me is behind the guard rail
     
  28. I've been going to Drag Races since I was 6. I bet every guy i've seen crash,thought he had it under control too. You never know.

    I gotta agree with everyone else, Bad, Bad, Bad Idea with no guard rail and all, but if I was there, I still would have watched it also and had the same retarded smirk on my face. Hopefully, if I had my family there, I would have had the sense to get them moving far away.
