ADRL's wild rides

From the folk at ADRL we got a compilation of some wild rides at the Gateway Drags. To me this is what makes doorslammers such an interesting category.

Todd Moyer's gorgeous Corvette

In Extreme 10.5, Todd Moyer got a little more kick in the pants that he bargained for, when the turbo kicked in big time and made a wheelie past the half way point during qualifying. During round eliminations it did it again, only this time even the rear tires left the track. This is absolutely nuts cause you never know when you are going to lose steering and you hope your pointed straight when you do a wheelie going over 150 mph!

In Pro Extreme, Tim Tindle crosses the centerline (an immediate disqualification) and almost takes out his competitior. Later Todd Tutterow loses traction and moves sharply to the right and hits the retaining wall hard.

In Pro Nitrous, Jim Laurita looses traction, moves hard to the right and bicycles across before correcting and lightly grazing the right retaining wall. The camaro received light damage.



If you ever have a chance to visit an ADRL event, you will not be disappointed. Well, only if it rains.

Thanks for reading.
