More Proof That Drag Racing Is Harder Than It Looks
More Proof That Drag Racing Is Harder Than It Looks-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:44

If you were looking for a summation of everything that makes drag racing bonkers, here you go.

You're riding with 74-year-old Bill Dunlap in a nostalgic front-engined top fuel dragster at the recent 2015 Good Vibrations March Meet. He gets up on one front tire, crosses the center line, then pinballs off the outside wall. While all that's happening, his rival Adam Sorokin starts to catch fire.

Top Fuel, as always, is nuts.

(Hat tip to Davey G Johnson!)
