WOW! How is the driver? Is he/she ok? I really hope so,safety equipment is really important when buiding a car of that caliber.

 

Wow, that's insane. Hope the driver came out okay, know what might have caused the accident?

 

you mean besides that car was skating on the strip every pass. I was suprised he managed to keep it straight as long as he did

 

wow wow

 

thats how the small wheel base cars run the 1/4 mile after the 1/8 they drift the rest.
What I read the driver was ok and the cars lost the body but the chassis was in good shape

 

the a ricon 4 you. thats the only way they roll

but it didnt look like he was under full load. cruising down the track

 

Yeah, didn't look like he was on it that hard. Those cars were all over the place in the video.

 

MY GOD!!!

Actually, most all the cars were all over the place. Was it just really bad track prep? Hope dude is okay.

 

ice skating or drag racing?!?!?!?! Glad the driver is ok!!!

 

damn that suck all the time they put on the car for nothing.........have you guys seen the crash test on eg????

 

Shortwheel base and a lot of power.

 

Glad no one was hurt.

 

this might be a dumb question but those all sounded like rotary engines and all looked like very familiar style cars except the FC . does anyone know what kind of cars those are and are rotarys a easy swap in those small cars ? thanx

 

WOW!!!! He got his roll on!!!

 

Thats Crazy!!!!!! Glad he is ok though.

 

no one knows the names of these cars ? i always see them with rotarys in them so i guess there not hard to swap rotarys in , can somone please help with the name of these cars (like who makes them , model name )

 

the car that crashed looked like a datsun 1200. the other common chassis you see with these swaps are toyota starlets and corollas.
-Roger

 

yup and some rx3's every once in a while

 

thanks guys iam going to look into it. any specific year corrolla thats a common chassis choice for these swaps ?

track looks deadly

 

That was scary.

 

rofl at the pun....

on a serious note, hope the guy was alright
