Another bad day at the drags

[SpinnerBait_Nut]

This happened at the Pontiac Excitement race in Columbus, Oh.<br /> http://www.nhra.com/2004/events/race10/video/KStoffer_04race10.mov <br /><br />The rider was not hurt, but watch the other rider at the end of the track <br /><br />He's wondering, WTH <br /><br />Turn your volume up and listen to the impact at 180MPH.

Looked like a broken axle caused this accident. The rider was lucky on this one, or she knew what she was doing to get away from it.<br /><br />A friend of mine went to the drags and told me about it. Thanks SBN for posting the clip. Now I can see what he was explaing to me.

Great (and funny) to see her standing in the middle of the track shaking her arms, and the other rider freaking out at the riderless bike passes him.

SS, all of it broke loose when she grabbed the front brake.<br />But it shows how well balanced them bikes are when you see it travel that far upright.<br /><br />Yea roscoe, I keep watching it just to see the reaction of the other racer.
