Holy f*ck!

Would putting it in a spin slow you down anymore than piling straight through the trees?

god knows what braking system they use on those, but on a roadgoing truck if you lose air the truck just comes to a halt in a big cloud of tyre and brake smoke.

Shock think i might have taken my chances and tried to put it on it's side,... but across the grass there's not much hope of any control and you just have to hang on for the ride! Sad

This is the main problem with truck racing! It's why they're so restricted as to where they can race.

Must've scared the bejesus out of him...

Blimey, that is scary s**t. How fast did he hit/go through that armco?! Would've definitely been a pull harnesses extra tight, slam it on full lock and start praying for me I think, although it's easy saying that now, probably considerably less easy at whatever speed he was doing!

The video says he was doing 190kph when he went through the armco. Shock

Hell of a crash, I am pleased but very surprised the driver managed to survive to be honest. Yes

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fecking temperamental.
