Not enough weight on the rear = not enough mechanical grip. Plus those trucks are probably setup more for handling than drag and it's on 22s, so it's stiffly sprung. Poor driver too, that launch was dogshit.

That's also what nearly happened to the white Lightning the night the track opened back up.

Moral of the story, if you're spinning like crazy hunting for grip, modulate the throttle instead of staying in it and praying it hooks, cause it just might not hook in a straight line.

Reppin' w/ the espanol at the end.

^haha I know all dick right, I remember the night Joey almost slammed into the wall, it was the night Dozal let everyone in for free to check out and test the track fun night IMO, this accident reminds me of mine, but mine was nowhere near this bad and I scraped on my brakes for about 30feet haha, sux though but Vandit is right you'd think he would have been more prepared or have adjusted some stuff on the truck before running but we all know how Mexicans can get, they just wanna get out there and tear it up (dont think im racist or anything by the way I sound I say Mexicans because theyre really straight up mexican and were not were only half)

One thing is certain, that "la pinche segunda" kicked his ass.

***Omar*** · 07-31-2006

^HAHA soo true...

**JohnR** · 08-01-2006

I walked it out on my 240

past the 1/8th mile

***Vandit*** · 08-01-2006

Maybe if it would have been the extended cab version he wouldn't have lost it so easily, since the longer wheelbase is less likely to swap ends.

Bump for noobs.

Saw a car in Edinburgh do this a while back... A new mustang on 20's.
