Default Re: Mishap with Drag car at a Parade

I think the driver was doing a little more than just a bunout! He was going pretty damned fast when he lost control and burnouts usually don't have a lot of speed to them!I think that is what the trouble was,going to fast with too much HP on a regular asphalt highway,lost traction completely and just lost control of the car.They should have known a car like that was not going to get any traction on that roadway!I hate to say it but it was PLAIN STUPIDITY OF ALL INVOLVED TO LET THAT TAKE PLACE!I personally have lost control of cars with only 450 to 500 HP an regular asphalt roads.Imagine what it would be like trying to control a monster like that! 2300 HP on asphalt with slicks! Traction just ain't happening at all! It was probably like trying to drive a 396 powered camaro with slicks on it in the rain! SLIPPIN AND SLIDING ALL THE WAY!
