Drag Race FAIL

Hit the wall, check the car thoroughly.......nah.......

On a side note, this guy has a tough time keeping legs on things. (Joke)
I find him doing this sport pretty impressive considering his handicap.

I guess someone should have reread "welding for dummies" one more time before building a race car.

I guess that fancy drag racing rear suspension really helped him this time .

Well at least the first response was on my train of thought. Learn to WELD PROPERLY before ATTEMPTING to build a race car.

What do you mean? Looks like he used plenty of JBweld to hold the axle on....

I agree, he could have been sitting on the couch feeling sorry for himself!! It's called enjoying life!!

The issues started on the first run, and I bet the wall didn't help either.

Ouch that hurt. Never give up seems to be his motto. Gotta give him credit for that.

I wonder if he knows his rear passenger side brake light was burnt out. I'm surprised, someone should have let him know.
