i saw some drag racers at haynes motor museum in yeovil few months ago, isnt a big track there.the dragsters was just doing burnouts and 1 spun out straight into a mud bank (the black 1 in the 1st pic) and another tried showing off and ended up in a bundle of tyres (2nd pic)

Scoff dont forget to adjust your brake bias once your running skinnys next year otherwise braking at 150mph with them pups on rear can make stopping interesting ;)

Already done :)

Those of you who can't get the link to work probably have an issue with their browser not wanting to load windows media files. Try firefox or some other browser.

If you pause the film at the point of impact you will see that the car on the left was more out of shape than the one that came off the wall. Looks like he hit his brakes. Perhaps if he had kept his foot in then the right car would have gone behind him.

Glad they were OK.
