In before “Drag racing is easy you just go in a straight line!”

Seriously though, I saw one live on ESPN 2 once where I guy went into the wall and died. The amount of impact and speed these guys handle is insane.

Five or six years ago I brought a couple of friends to their first drag race event. It was local level, but there were plenty of 8.90 bracket cars and a few alcohol cars. Enough for a newbie to get a taste. A guy in a built ‘Vette like in the second gif headered into the wall at about the 800’ mark and flipped about 6 times. It took about half an hour to get him out of the car. My friends were distraught thinking they had just watched a guy die, and they haven’t gone to a race since. It’s a shame, really, because they loved it up until that point.
