😂

Yeah, same here

Bro, did he just stay in the throttle a little longer when the front wheel flew off like that…🤷🏽‍♂️

@southtexashustler no shit, he's got bigger nuts than I do that's for sure, that or just less brains one

One would think

Yes, absolutely!

It is an awesome machine 🤘

Amen!

That's what I'm thinking. Front end is so light under load and didn't see the tire exit the wheel. Probably had no idea it was gone until the parachute deployed.

Superstition 🤷‍♂️

Only idling at 2k, pretty normal for a blower car of this caliber.

They will have it back up and running in a few weeks! 👍

It was even more wild in person!

Absolutely, agreed 👍

Absolutely! Thanks

Driver stayed in the throttle to prevent a nose dive/possible endo.

Driver side spindle sheared off at 100' out, then he drove it the rest of the way, after 1/8mile slowed it down and it drove into the wall, causing the other front spindle to break off on impact.

You better head to the track and straighten everyone out . They are all doing it wrong ... me included .

@@LeskoBrandon-kv9is I didn't say anything was right or wrong...just that I wouldn't run wrinkle-wall slicks on an old short wheelbase car like that. You do you and have fun! Maybe after you shake the car apart a few times you'll come to agree with my thoughts. Or not. Be safe Brother!

@@recoilrob324 We run many events a year ... all cars use 'wrinkle-wall' tires . It is often said "you can't drive a car that is shaking , but you can drive a car that is spinning" So yes - shaking is a concern and wheel speed is the cure . I don't know a thing about the car in this video , but every car that we run against has to be certified to run in their class . We are certed down to 6.0 - they may appear vintage , but yet we must meet current safety standards . If you have not already done so ... look up 'extreme top fuel' . Quite a show !! And it's all done on a 12" tire .

I run hard slicks on my bantam. They make it easier to brake also.

😂👍

What exactly does that do different?

@@tireballastserviceofflorid7771 There are a few reasons why lyle's advice is good . 1) the whole burnout process will happen at a much lower speed ie:safer. 2) the front tires won't be able to drag water forward of the water box. We run a front engine dragster and we pull thru the water very slowly , stop just past and then do the burnout . Works perfect . The idea of a high speed burnout makes no sense (at least to me :>)

@LeskoBrandon-kv9is Well, I have seen 1000 burn outs 80 different ways. 95% roll through and light it up. And 99% of those are good runs. I see your point but a proper burn out fast or slow heats the tires and cleans the tracks. Not sure it is as critical as you might think. About 600 things could have caused that wheel hop. I probably would have shut it down way early and ran again.

@@tireballastserviceofflorid7771 Yessir ! There are many ways that work well . We prefer the slower speed burnout as it lessens the chance of the 'last 20 feet wiggle' that often occurs . One thing for sure ... if a tire falls off the run is over !!

Damn, that's wild! Bad deal.

@SlyFox9194 yeah man, driver was unhurt, but he lost about $40,000 is about 6 seconds!

@19jody72 good deal, cars can be replaced, humans can't.

The Spindle broke.

Well you see, you can't exactly slam on the brakes in this scenario. 😂

@@SlyFox9194 Really? Why not? Guess it's just best to stay on the gas and go faster.

@johnhaus3019 ever seen a car do a front flip?

@@SlyFox9194 Would you rather do it at 50 mph or 150 mph? The last thing you want to do is go faster.

@johnhaus3019 hard to say, when your the one in the situation, you have to make split second decisions 🤷‍♂️

ONLY AN IDIOT WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

He just wants the best! Another troll that can't just looked at the video for what it is.

Gay white....go troll elsewhere....
