they will throw off the track a C6ZO6 for breaking 11.50's and they let that piece of crap run? :wow:

like everyone said how did that car pass tech and that was about the most terrible driving I have ever seen at a race track...

Praise God that this guy had an angel watching over him for being so stupid..

Blessings,

I saw a story years ago about a Carlsbad Raceway fatal wreck. The locals called it "Carlsdirt" the track was so poorly kept.It closed recently.I guess there was no tech to speak of either then.The guy was drag racing a 60's Beetle.He lost control and rolled it killing himself.He had a plastic lawn chair drivers seat,PVC roll cage painted and padded to look real,and had laid belts across his lap in case anyone glanced in the car....Worked out well for him...:rolleyes:

Hey, I raced there.. track prep involved a weed wacker :)

Crazy.................:wow:

I first saw that video 20-ish years ago (and it was already old) , it was on a tape called "shoebox dreams" We played it in the background of the speed shop where I worked. Definitely a Darwin candidate....

it's amazing that much carnage from a 12:30 car. Probably used to pedaling though it before-Wow!!:wow:

This happened at Fremont Dragstrip (aka Baylands) back in 87 or 88 if I remember right. I wasn't there when this happened - but I worked with Rob Renfrow (Don's son) who built the car. After working with him I could easily see why this happened besides the poor driving by Dad. Let's just say Rob wasn't the most safety oriented person. :_paranoid (PC way of saying he was a hack!!) Don was extremely lucky to walk away.
