Time to change jocks .... I must say I'm shocked he wasn't saying anything like "oh f*ck f*ck f*ck!!" even after he came to rest.
I know I would be!!

(2.7Mb for people wondering.)

Wonder what the pop noise was before he lost control. Slid a long way, must have picked up a lot of speed in a short amount of time. Impressive video.

The noise kind of sounds like he came off the gas when it started to twitch too much.

That "pop" may have been a tyre blow out :mad:

Probably shocked and had not completely comprehended what actually happened yet.

I bet after a few hours he would have cursed the entire universe over it.

heh I would too. ;)

I don't know about you guys, but I was just waiting for a bang as he hit a wall but he must of just kept going straight down the tarmac.

Sounded and looked like he popped his front right tyre on the right hand side, then again… who knows? He backed off a little too quickly for a drag car and loaded the front end a little to much, followed by some serious over correction.

Oh well….!!! At least he was strapped in with a roll cage and didn’t hit another car.

Nice Video… :)

Yep, I think it was a blowout. Watch the steering wheel as you hear the bang.

Holy snappin ducks crap...... what a ride. :eek:

The pops sounds a bit like a blow-off valve after the drivers lifted off when everything went pearshaped on him. The steering wheel movement looks like a tank slapper happened. Left the line a bit crossed up & it got worse the faster he went & the more he tried to correct it.

Overcorrected & WHOOSH-KA...................... look mum I can see the stars, no wait, they're sparks. Shows the benefits of rollcages.

And not 1 swear word either. Don't know how many F**K-SH@TS I'd a squeezed out in the same situation.

Great video.
