Re: Colorado Drag Race Gone Bad
Rick, from what I've read on Facebook.....he had his lap belt on but slipped through it. But I don't know that for sure.
If the lap belt story is true, he's not too smart cause that car looked to be really fast and a lap belt wasn't sufficient. Now, I race with only a lap belt but my car's a slug compared to that '55. Kurt

Re: Colorado Drag Race Gone Bad
He mentions he was wearing just a lap belt,and that it wasn't even anchored right & broke off.
The worst part is this was his wifes car,which means he'll never hear the end of it.

Re: Colorado Drag Race Gone Bad
This video doesn't show the whole race. The Camaro almost comes into his lane twice. The last time the 55 over corrects and you see the end result.

Re: Colorado Drag Race Gone Bad
Yeah, the Camaro was skating down the track the whole race.
