This,is what happens,when someone is too stupid,to build it right--%00 horse motor winds up-stock left axle breaks,soots to the left-driver tries to correct(with stock steering box),over corrects---EEEEK!!! seen this scenario many times,with tri-5"s....Lousy build quality on this one--Should of NEVER been on a track,in the first place....
shoulda lifted when it first got outa shape. I used to race a 10 second 55 Chev. If it got squirrly I'd get out of it. Not worth doing what this guy did. Let the car race another day when it's feeling better.
looks like the rear suspension broke , watch how the rear right tire hops when he launches and keeps hoping until he looses control. He is lucky to have survived.
God there was so much wrong with that car, wheel hop off the start, the front end suspension was wayy to soft and bouncing the whole time, that thing wasn't fit to be driven at all.
It was funny he gassed it the whole time until he fell out. If he was smart he would have stopped accelarating when he lost control. He could have saved it.
this guy has the whole kentucky derby up his ass,,,,never mind horseshoes,,, too bad for the shoebox Chevy looked like a cool car before,,, nice radius job and cool nostalgic slots,,,,
I agree completely! He got off-line and stayed on the loud pedal, mistake number one. The car wouldn't track straight and stayed on the loud pedal, mistake number two. Installed a "Make it expensive" pedal instead of a loud pedal, mistake number three.
that car either had a very poor restraint set up or no restraint. its no wonder when he was ejected out of the car it didn't roll over him, killing him...
true, but only because there was no car in the other lane. i see too much cobbled together garbage at the local track, it's a wonder more people don't get killed.
@weim55 after you get off the line your car is harder to steer and when you hit a wind current your car is hard to control and thats porbobly what happend to him.
i have owned and driven a 55 chevy for over 30 years...this car had suspension and steering problems...i hate to see a 55 getting destroyed like this...but the car had serious problems...and never should have been raced
Sheeee...IT...!!!

It's hard to see but he killed a slow moving pet turtle that was crossing the track for a better view of the races.
He died watching what he loved. R.I.P Timmy the Hot Rodding Turtle!

The way that car behaved made me think it wasn't exactly in good shape. but if the throttle didn't get stuck, he kinda got off it late...
