    Check out this drag race. A guy in a 392 GWE Challenger launches poorly and then loses contol of his car 3/4 the way down the track. Then, instead of letting off, he applies the brakes. He was lucky to escape with only rear bumper damage!

    He was horrible all the way down the track. He never had control it looked like.

    He obviously turned off all traction control and the EBC... should have left that shit engaged!

    It just goes to show, racing is best left on the track, can you image the possible carnage if he drove like that on the street?
