Default Anyone ever seen something like this?

I was looking through some old footage and found this from NHRA in Vegas 05. Found it kind of funny and thought I would share it with you guys.

nothing special about it. Both cars possibly shut off at the line. Crawford was able to get it running and was the fortunate one to make a decent pass. Gold car possibly couldnt get the motor revving up or some other problem. Tried to at least get to the end of the track with minimal power just in case Neon wasnt able to make the run.

Part of racing... doesnt happen often, but it happens. Seen things like this several times the past decade of Sport Compact Racing

Remember it doesnt matter how fast you get to the end. Its who ever gets there first... All that matters is that you make it to the next round. hehe.

That reminds me of Talladega Nights, when Ricky Bobby first gets into the car after his accident, and hes creeping around the track...

We made a pass right before them. You can hear the announcer say Stephanies name in the begining of the video.
Maybe if we run some 7.70's next year I will have time to run into the bleachers and video for you guys!!

probably broke one axle but had a spool to atleast pedal it down the track but cant lay into it because it will put him into the wall would be my guess

broke axle at starting line, loaded the car for ***** out and I staged him perfectly and could not get the end, I remember that moment exactly because I was screaming for my car to move and it wouldn't. sad thing is that, winner would have a bye to the final versus Lumus. thats drag racing...
