No. He caused the crash. Watch the front wheels. He did the same thingy everyone does on wet pavement that ends up in a ditch.... he oversteered multiple times. Watch the front wheels.
I've talked to some of the faster cars on the No Prep Kings races and they are hitting 180mph in the 1/8th mile. I would call that pretty fast on a no prep track.
Had you known it never had to be one at all wouldn't that suck .. Drivers get spooked they immediately overreact with the wheel which exacerbates the problem to what you see .. Period ...really simple .. the guys who don't never hit anything .. the car settles down they drive back on the return road the guys who wreck have long story's forgetting of course we have the slow mo video footage showing the wheel being over corrected 3 sometimes 5 times...
Yeah, most everybody would say pulling the chute would be the right thing to do. But with that being said it can sometimes be a big mistake also, because if you are not straight or the chute pulls you to one side or another when it deploys it will put you straight into the wall. But when working properly it should straighten out a car right away after being deployed. Good question!
I'm going to try my best. There is a No Prep Kings race in Norwalk, Ohio on Friday and Saturday and I'm going to try and leave Sat night to make it to Byron and get ready for the contest on Sunday. Hopefully that all works out good.
As much as I love these crazy mishaps, I see this compilation was much more mild and no injuriers. Seems many of the cars could be salvaged and live to see another day.
Hi Bob, thanks for the update on that. I just tried on my phone and it went to every site I have listed. Is anyone else having this problem? Or can you try it on a computer Bob? Thanks once again. TomEighty
Yeah that's the risk you take from shooing in the stands like I do. It's funny because that is actually what I really said in my head when I saw him stand up right in my view. ha ha.
The Camaro with the blue blower at 12:30 mark is best save. Watch the front wheels. He knows what his car is going to do and doesn't overreact. Very subtle steering. Classy save ! Also fun to guess which car and the "cookie monster blue 😆" mustang was an easy call. Thought it would be immediately out of the hole the way they were revving up. Wasn't too far off 😂😂😂
Yep, that's why you take it to the track instead of doing it on the street. At least then you have emergency crews and an inspection to check your ride out. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Why do I have this funny feeling that I'm going to see the first crash in this video when Street Outlaws No Prep Kings (season 2) airs their Bandimere Speedway episode. The announcer sounds very familiar.....
Okay, I have to be right, because that's Eric Bain getting wrecked into in the second crash, and he's on No Prep Kings. (I'm making assumptions, not spoiling it for anyone.)
Pull the damn chute !! Once you start tail wagging you pull the chute. !! Never understood No-Prep... let's wreck our 3000 hp $250k cars because...street racing
A lot of these vehicles are beyond repair though. When the quarters are bashed in and the frame is bent, you’re better off salvaging what parts you can and putting them on a different build.
A lot of these cars are not (or at least no longer) monocoque vehicles, so the body panels play no part in the strength of the chassis. So long as your central frame is not damaged too much, all you need is a few fiberglass panels and you're car's looking pretty once again. Great example is the first car - the engine bay is just a box on the front to give the car its shape
@@thegatesofsleep These arnt street cars bashed in panels doesn't mean they can't fix it easily. If not they will put a new panel or even body on the chassis. That's when something is not worth it is when structural components are tweeked bad.
working2Bselfsufficient a lot of them are tube chassis front end with fibreglass except the quarters. Some of them are a entire fibreglass shell in which case, sure repair it. If I was dragging a car with tube front end and smoked my steel quarters at 120mph I’d consider finding a new car to throw the remaining parts on. Doesn’t take much to damage the chassis and if you’re ripping the entire car apart anyway, may as well drop everything on a virgin frame.
Timothy Puvogel (don’t mind me name please) it was gonna be a crash he or she didn’t hit the wall but it could of got hit a tiny bit and because of the wall we can’t see if it did hit so we really dont know but even so it was still included cause it could of ended horribly
Honest question from someone that doesn't (yet) know a lot about these kinds of things... What exactly goes wrong that gets the cars out of the groove? I'm sure over correcting doesn't make it better, but something is at work before it happens.
What I learned from this is that the folks who come to watch cheer MORE for the drivers who AVOID complete destruction rather than the one who wins the race. Just sayin.
6:54 you can see how the top isnt effected much because of how they were made back then ( i guess the roll cage might have done it too now that i think about it)
That dude with the Red Chevelle wrecked his own car because like so many other's they get to sawing back & forth on that rack & pinion wheel and do all there own damage ... Until they force themselves out of shear shame to STOP doing it.. Prime example of how NOT to wreck your costly race car is watching the knowledgeable driver in the Mustang totally avoid the urge to start swing the wheel back & forth and drives away to get ready for another round of racing ... So many guys just cannot overcome that urge to over correct ..
It is not easy to do in drag cars but for sure when you have the wheels cranked and the rear catches the car will then go right where the tires are pointed. Watch these guys coming onto roadways and spinning their tires do it so often. Thanks for having some ideas instead of the ones that can only criticize.
twas brillig these cars can be as cheap as maybe 10-15k to as much as 50,70,90k+ and that’s considering most of these guys build their own cars. But they don’t win that much you can see a few getting into maybe 10k sometimes 15k some sponsors might pay you a little bit but not a ton. Pretty much no one does this for the money, there’s professional teams but a lot of the time they never really get back the amount of money put in. Let alone crashes and repairs.
Someone needs to explain to me again why it is that they don't have a barrier separating the racers. I can think of few things worse for a racer to have a perfect run, win the race, and then have someone suddenly cross the track and take out your car and possibly you.
Would not be able to stand like that at the starting line at New England Dragway. That's not a very safe place to stand if something goes bad on a car during launch.
1/8 mile is not a drag race. Only reason people like it is that there are so many crashes, caused by the super low gears they have to run on that short of track. 1/8 mile is nothing but a straight line demo derby. 1/4 mile is the only real drag racing.
Carlos Meraz I know but it seems there is no steering grip when sideways. I’d like to know how much of a time and mph a skinny vs a regular tire makes. Can’t be much.
Needs to be some kind of foam or soft barriers to be on the side of the tracks, to cause less damage to these guys cars, so they could possibly run again, and avoid less injury, or death. To do all that work to have a nice car to race for the fans, themselves, and whoever owns the track, to destroy it, or get injured or die, is not good for anyone. Thanks for the post.
Chris Lawson yeah that doesn’t really work. Barriers have to be strong enough to absorb the crash to prevent any sort of danger to the public who comes to watch. There’s not a ton of foams out there that can absorb this kind of pressure when a car crashes into it. It would have to be so thick it wouldn’t even be worth it.
First rule of losing control and getting sideways is turn into the direction of your spin. Trying to over correct in the opposite direction spells disaster... That is if something up front hadn't already broke, in that case let go of the wheel and let physics run its course....
Blue Mustang at 13:20, must be kidding me. Already won due to opponent red light, has his own trouble and lifts, then wants to be a hero and hit it again, probably out of the grove, and puts it into the wall. Expensive lesson.
The first guy did good trying to control the car!
He forgot to pull the parechut maybe it will save it
yeah he did!!!
No. He caused the crash. Watch the front wheels. He did the same thingy everyone does on wet pavement that ends up in a ditch.... he oversteered multiple times. Watch the front wheels.
not in the slightest ... more like made it worse
Yeah he was doing good at first and could have straightened it after the 4th whip but over corrected instead of letting the wheel correct itself
Tough racket that drag racing. No shortage of surprises or adventure. The best motorsport ever.
"No prep is cool"
Let's build a really fast car then struggle to go half speed down the track
I've talked to some of the faster cars on the No Prep Kings races and they are hitting 180mph in the 1/8th mile. I would call that pretty fast on a no prep track.
@@tomeighty You got that right Tom!
I agree that is a really stupid way to race
do you even race bud
Longer than you been alive BUD !
I love how the crowd cheered when the driver managed to save himself from crashing
yup!
@mrs abe i think someone deleted their reply 😂😂😂 that is super weird
Expensive car race failures. That's what I would name this video.
5:35 a victory better than winning is preventing what could be a horrible accident 👏🏽

Thank you so much for these beautiful videos, at least even in Italy you can see. Good job
Anyone know what year that Chevy II Wagon was? What a great run he had...damn.
The car is called "swamp thing" and it's a composite bodied car....from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠
@@billallen4793 Cool, thanx man.
Damn that first one, that dude worked his ASS off to try and keep control of that car. I honestly thought he had it for a second there.
Yeah it was crazy watching it in person. Seemed like it took for ever. ha ha
@@tomeighty in that situation when he almost has it back under control, wouldn't it be better to pull the chute ?
Yeah, most everybody would say pulling the chute would be the right thing to do. But with that being said it can sometimes be a big mistake also, because if you are not straight or the chute pulls you to one side or another when it deploys it will put you straight into the wall. But when working properly it should straighten out a car right away after being deployed. Good question!
You took the words right out of my mouth I literally said good job he kept control then 90 degree turn oh shit
Looks like that quarter panel was replaced recently also. Maybe he has ongoing issues with it.
That second run; the guy should've lifted at 100 feet out. He was already losing traction. Ya just gotta lift and give up sometimes.
Thank you for watching! If you can't watch Street Outlaws episodes on TV, I have a link to watch it here: goo.gl/ZJtjjh
Omg
Awesome stuff huh? ha ha.

@@tomeighty ok
13:24 WHY!? Just Why!? Even if you dont see the red light the race is over just coast. There is no reason to get back in it.
As always thanks for the videos homie!!
Thanks David!
As much as I love these crazy mishaps, I see this compilation was much more mild and no injuriers. Seems many of the cars could be salvaged and live to see another day.
Dont forget the near misses (not crashes) that are in this damn video title lies lol
Give me my name back
Nathan cole who are you a clone? At least tell me cole is your last name
Excellent video thank you
How many people bobbed and weaved trying to see around dude at 3:49
Its incredible how much bondo comes out of those classic rods...haha
Why dont they push the barrier back and add a gravel pit on the sides?
Cool to see footage from my home drag strip, SIR in Tucson.
Great video man, thanks for making it.
I know that raceway also I lived in Tucson back in the early '70s also pulled a friends car for him. Lived out on Valencia then
Hi TomEighty, I wasn't able to access your merch from my phone by your link above. Is there a reason for that. ?
Hi Bob, thanks for the update on that. I just tried on my phone and it went to every site I have listed. Is anyone else having this problem? Or can you try it on a computer Bob? Thanks once again. TomEighty
TomE.... Seams to be fine while connected to the internet. Sorry thought it was on their end. Thanks for checking. 👍
Interesting, I was connected to the internet when I tested mine also. I should try it using cell data once and see what happens.
So do like the front calipers seize or something? I noticed a few where it seemed like it.
its usually something in the suspension breaks when one makes a hard turn into the wall... or it just spins and gets out of shape
@3:39 when you feel like rebuilding your car instead of repacking the chute
Thanks for your time 👍😊
Lmao that dude got up and blocked the impact shot 😂😂😂
Nothing but badass 💪💪 video
Thanks for the upload thanks I enjoyed the vids.
Thank you for watching!
Cant believe that guy stood up in front of your camera
Yeah that's the risk you take from shooing in the stands like I do. It's funny because that is actually what I really said in my head when I saw him stand up right in my view. ha ha.
Absolutely, God forbid he doesn’t watch the world through a camera or phone. How dare him!!!
drasticg really that was my nephew and I missed that race.
It wasn't that exciting, besides the crash before took out three signs on the wall much better!
WE ALL PAID MONEY FOR TICKETS... WE CAN STAND IF WE WANT.... MR CAMERAMAN HAS NO MORE RIGHTS THAN WE WITHOUT CAMERS DO..
Thank for the footage Tom your the man
Thank you!!! I'm glad you liked it.
3:40 I literally started looking over my phone haha
3:39 everyone hate that dude
That guy should be banned from the stands at all tracks for sure.
jackson meads he didn’t pull he’s parachute on purpose
Ghlaissia Karim to be fair though if you don’t want someone to ruin your view let alone for a video get higher or go lower.
I mean he was in the stands though. Standing in the stands sounds reasonable enough to me.
@@disht2 You almost got it he standed and blocked the view

Hey random person scrolling down the comments..
Happy Holidays :)
Merry Easter
Happy August 25.
I'll do WHATEVER I PLEASE and YOU CAN Enjoy the Holidays! BARF!
I'm impressed how people cheer as loudly for a driver who regains control of the car.
Yep, that's why you take it to the track instead of doing it on the street. At least then you have emergency crews and an inspection to check your ride out. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
I've never been to drag racing but the crowd seem to appreciate a car being saved as they do a win.
the car being safe means the driver is safe
Why do I have this funny feeling that I'm going to see the first crash in this video when Street Outlaws No Prep Kings (season 2) airs their Bandimere Speedway episode. The announcer sounds very familiar.....
Okay, I have to be right, because that's Eric Bain getting wrecked into in the second crash, and he's on No Prep Kings. (I'm making assumptions, not spoiling it for anyone.)
Wreck 3 I saw in the Season 2 Preview Show. I think that's Barry Nicholson.
Thanks!!! You present great videos
Most of these clips , you already can tell from the burnout that the car doesn’t want to go straight. That should be your sign
0:39 Dang it! xD
" Dang it Dom, don't you hit the wall! Don't you are hit that other wall! Now come Toretto! " xD
Great video.
Thank you!
6:03 guy says, good job buddy that went well, as he sits in the stands, probably drove his blue Prius to the track.
Lol you haven't seen the 800hp Prius video have you? They call them "sleepers" for a reason.

This is very cool but what you should say is all of these race cars were probably fixed by the next weekend or as soon as the money would allow
All crashes are fixed as soon as the money allows though.. its kinda obvious

I wanna see the drone footage of that wreck!!
Why was the second crash posted? You couldn't see what happened when the dude stood up.
Bad camera work at about 12 30 no crash why would he include that in the crash video

Great vid! Whats the name of the song at the end of the video!?
They seem more impressed when the guy doesn't crash into something. Hell with the win🤣
Anyone know the owner at 4:30?
The last announcer sounded like the guy who did the Harry Carrie skirt on SNL. 😂😂
Honest question from someone that doesn't (yet) know a lot about these kinds of things... What exactly goes wrong that gets the cars out of the groove? I'm sure over correcting doesn't make it better, but something is at work before it happens.
The amount of hp and boost off the launch usually does it ,that’s why prep is so important
Nathan Cole they are putting some much power down sometimes the tires just lose grip too
9:41 Tom I'm disappointed for you not filming the damn crash.
A few get away from me 👍. Thanks for watching buddy.
First guy did so good saving the front of the car. He was probably back out there in less than a week cause of his save.
What I learned from this is that the folks who come to watch cheer MORE for the drivers who AVOID complete destruction rather than the one who wins the race. Just sayin.
An amazing driver.....He performed flawlessly, without hope...
For the guy that had the knucklehead stand up in front of you while you were recording, that's ONE of the many uses of a fly swatter.
hello friend good video OMG nice drag racing
Nice job!
Not so much into the cars getting all damaged. What I was impressed with were the ones that were able to escape damage.

I agree, I actually hate seeing that many people standing at the starting line. they have no business there and only bad things can happen.
IQ requirement for an announcer or spectator: below 10. For driver not much more.
On the first one he was so close to saving it
No
Props to the driver in the white mustang for saving it.
"Well I almost had it!" Dude... you never had it. 😆
But they use prep in street races?
I hate seeing great machines getting wrecked.
Why do Mustangs spin out and hit the wall so often?
The silver Chevy II came into boost and grabbed 2nd gear just in time- before that 68 Plymouth came at him and flipped.
Yeah for sure, that Chevy II boggied out of there just in time!
Is that Terry Bradshaw commentating in the second race? Sounds just like him. Too bad we couldn’t even see it happen

Maybe those small front tires aren't such a good idea ? No control , no grip .
James Thigpen the skinny tires in the front are used for reduced weight, and floor drag, to get the most speed out of them
Carlos Meraz I know but it seems there is no steering grip when sideways. I’d like to know how much of a time and mph a skinny vs a regular tire makes. Can’t be much.
