Drag Racer Fails To Stop During Run, Crashes Into A Safety Fence
At the The Gateway Motorsports Park circuit in Illinois a real drama happened these days during the qualifications.
One of the racers experienced a technical defect during the drag race, causing him to crash right into the protective net.
Mike Bowman crossed the finish line with his Chevrolet Chevelle '69, then quickly realized that he was in trouble.
When the parachute was activated for ease of stopping, it did not open. Only the brakes could not stop the fast car, so he drove off the track to the sandy ground, and there he crashed into the protective net.
Take a look at how the camera captured his crash and what the spectators had to see!
