Drag Racer Larry Dixon Somehow Walked Away From This 300 MPH Crash
Drag Racer Larry Dixon Somehow Walked Away From This 300 MPH Crash-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:44

Larry Dixon is the one airborne in this frightening video as his Top Fuel dragster apparently snapped in half somewhere near 300 MPH during the Gatornationals in Florida. He somehow walked away from this accident.

Drag racing is but it's a good deal more difficult when none of your tires touch the pavement (see Doug Kalitta is demonstrating the proper way to do it). At last check, it sounds like Dixon was being taken to the hospital to get checked out but didn't demonstrate any serious injuries.

A great photo from Mark Rebilas below:

Racing Was Actually Included In The Olympics Once
Every time the Summer Olympics roll around, you’ll hear plenty of motorsport fans wondering why auto racing isn’t included in the Games. After all, plenty of us have spent time arguing that drivers are athletes, too, so it only seems fair to include it as part of the Games’...
