Warning, if you love to drag race, you might not want to watch this video (unless you like seeing Mustangs and Camaro's going on their roofs).. Wild! (no VWs thank heaven).

What's with Ford Mustangs?  Seems like everytime one was losing control, the back end seems to tuck and lock up and when the car slides either way, the opposite rear wheel comes up off the ground.  Didn't see that with other cars.  Maybe the short wheelbase?  Seems odd they all did it on the video.

The major fires/explosions and the motorcycle crashes are the worst IMO. I guess those are the 2 situations that I would really not want to experience if I had a choice.

I see what you mean about the mustangs cocking thier inside legs like a dog peeing, weird.  And I saw a few wrecks there that tick me off, if you start to lose it in cars that fast, give up and let off, you already lost anyway.  I hate when guys refuse to let off just to prove how tough they are.  And sometimes they take the other car out with them.

I like the red Camaro at 2:47. Awesome wheel stand and straight too.

And I also liked the engine blowing in the blue car at the line at 4:37.

In the words of John Milner:  "It's tough when ya take someone with you."  I would HATE to get tagged by the other guy.  I do understand though that every pass it is a possibility.
