You never have time to do it right the first time but you always have time to do it again.

Quite the launch (pun intended). Didn't look like too much body damage.

Mighta coulda checked to make sure those were the right wheel studs for the wheels.

Put me in mind of a scene from a movie where they chained a rear end to a post and drove off at speed.

Wasn't that American Grafitti where they chained the rear axle of the cops car? Been a while.

never seen a driver need help staging a car like those two did without a huge blower in the way of seeing the tree. I have also never seen that many people on the start line even at a national event . Imagine if those studs had broken during the burnout when all those folks were standing between the cars!

Glad nobody got hit by any pieces but that was just plain funny.

Did you watch the entire video? I think it twisted the whole back half were the quarters buckled.

No need Phil, I just didn't want you to miss all the fun at the end of the video :)

When everyone gathered around and looked like they were going to try to lift the car, it reminded me of the videos of the Amish moving barns by hand...
