HOLY F**K
I was literately just watching his recent crime fighters episode on CNBC and
wondering when the Hemi Under Glass in the opening scenes would air, Well I guess I now know  Good thing he was able to keep his arms tucked in, man what a roll. Glad they both walked away un-hurt, well short of pride at least. Un-freak-en believable how quickly things can go so wrong.

Not sure why they decided to do wheelstands on a circle track????????
I would think the dragstrip would be more appropriate..........

Might be time for Bob to think about hanging up the helmet.
Glad nobody was hurt.

Both of them have calm under pressure ability. Watching Jays face during the roll from inside cam was kind of funny, but I have never seen a chin like that in a roll either....

Never knew Hemi under Glass was built as a serious drag racer not a wheel stander. Glad everybody ok. Car was meant to go strait only! Think Jay will review his bucket list.

I've watched it several times, wondering about the driving surface...not sure if the front tires being slightly turned were helpful or made things worse.
If the driving surface had ANY even, slight dips or unevenness, these would be reasons for the wreck. Dragsters that run faster than 9 seconds, alky funny cars run into extreme problems when the bouncing begins. Most often without bad results, but anytime you see one of these start bouncing at a race, keep your eye on it. You play with fire, you CAN get burned.... Hindsight absolutely tells us, this deal should'a been done at a smooth flat drag strip!!!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
