I haven't drag raced in years so I have to ask, why no wheelie bars? I understand that the sanctioning body may not allow them in that particular class? WTF? over.
Doesn't seem too smart to me, but he did a great job of saving it.

What he needs is some gauges so he can monitor his shit !

Nice save.

21 seconds into this video is the same race from OUTSIDE of the car in the stands. He still hit the wall. So there wasn't really a "save" except that he didn't completely decimate the wall or the car. For sure he had to replace the fender and door skin and probably a bit of work to the rear quarter. Great driving none-the-less.

No wheelie bars was probably due to not being allowed due to class, but IDK...He DID have a chute though.

Yeah, Like an altimeter gauge!
