If you’re a petrolhead, you probably watch drag videos all the time. During your incursions on Youtube or other platforms that host videos of such events, you probably also encountered some fails, right?
I mean most of the time, if you’re dealing with manual cars, one of the drivers will occasionally miss a gear, right? That, combined with some proper transmission grinding noises usually make the crowd scoff or downright laugh at the whole thing.
Well, that’s usually what people consider to be funny. However, they didn’t see the video below just yet. We’re pretty sure you’ll agree that this has to be the funniest 1/4 run ever attempted.
What we have here then is a Plymouth Barracuda that goes up against what looks like an early Chevy Nova to us (or a Holden HX/HZ considering that this took place in Australia). Therefore, it shouldn’t have had a tough time trying to beat it, right? Wrong!
As it turns out, the man behind the wheel had some trouble putting the power down. To be more precise, he loses traction as soon as he gets off the line and nearly spins. Then, unscathed by the happenings, he decides to get back on the horse and try and catch up.
Unfortunately, he didn’t learn a thing from what had just happened to him a couple of seconds ago, and he ends up not only losing control but actually crashing into the concrete wall on his right side. Now that’s perseverance!
