About 100 pounds of bondo can fix that...........the boogieman himself!!

Hey there big fella I've seen many a racer screw up and wreck good cars but to see one get wrecked so needlessly is truly shameful... Can you say ROY HILL school for Drag racing. Because To much driver input equalls a wrecked car and knowing where all the levers are helps....

[Durt85]

this is my buddies car, he actually reached for the chute lever pretty early into it getting sideways hoping to straighten it back up, but his placement of the lever kinda screwed him.

its real close to the shifter and he accidently stuck it into high gear instead of pulling the chute

skinny ass tires on a heavy ass car

Doesen't take a rocket scientist to see that mistake. True, easy to say behind the keyboard,,but unless your blind to not see your self out of the groove and don't have the sense to lift,,well,,,you deserve it then.

[kh40yr]

A classic mistake of too much over-correction outside the groove. One tire has bite, the other does not and if you over input during that period, you get what you see here. Sad,,, really cool Handy. Slow that steering box or rack down.

@kh40yr

Easy to say behind a keyboard.. Classic bench racer...

[fiddlerpin]

That's called customization by crash

[shsmustangs]

damn guard rails coming out of nowhere

[electrochubb]

I don't think that is gonna buff out.

[5219sg]

Did he put more nitrous to it than he normally did? If not, he had too much weight on the right rear which is why the car drove to the left at the hit. Damn that is a nice old car!

[DOWNwithDICTATORS2]

not a nomad

[HedgehogAirsoft]

He was doing a good job saving it. Even though he crashed it could have been worse.

[foxxvoice1]

NOW THATS HOW YOU COME OUT OF THE HOLE......DAMMM

[carey540]

why would u get back into it

[TyMx926]

@buck this car ran a 9.25 tonight, this things a beast to say the least! Never used his chute so it might be for looks....

[EdgeHeadTulsa]

That is not a Nomad. It is a 210 Handyman.

[viperbasketball25]

@EdgeHeadTulsa Yes I know it is. There was a guy at the track who mentioned that after i put the video on, but just never changed it though. Thanks though, but isnt it a beautiful car?!

[EdgeHeadTulsa]

@viperbasketball25 Yes it sure is. My Dad owns a 55 210 Handyman also.

[viperbasketball25]

@EdgeHeadTulsa Cool. My dad has a 69' Chevelle Drag Radial car.

[bucktheusa]

Can't get traction on those tiny ass wheels.

If he would have pulled the chute it would have saved him a big headache (if it's real and not just for show).

[jordan8179]

@bucktheusa

you're a fuckin moron

[bucktheusa]

You're the moron. I seriously doubt this runs in the 9's hence the chute comment.

See his squirrely tracks when as leaves?

That's from burned rubber from tires slipping all over the place. If you have traction on VHT there is no trail.

He slipped out on a wheelstand. If it was tubbed it would have reduced at that free spin and kept him at least in his own lane.

What do you think happened then genius?

[13RACERX]

LIFT !!!!! LIFT !!!!! LIFT!!!!!! UGH

[BADass72NOVA]

How many times he racks dis thing to see my car go on ndacut and it's da 3rd video and it says Richmond boys raid piedmont I'm on a 8inch rim on a 275drag radial
