When you watch that in real time you think "man he was lucky" but watch it in slow mo and you can see just how much skill it took to save it and keep from having a horrific crash

It's that time of year again Saturday 6/2 /18

Just a reminder STARTS TONIGHT ON VELOCITY CHANNEL

I get a kick out of watching this every year. Unfortunately it's a VERY deadly game.

And time again for this awesome lick

I don't have Velocity channel any more. I hope I can catch some highlights on YouTube.

Been watching it. As far as I know, only one guy's died so far.
It's such a radical race. It takes a certain size of gonads to race it. I've done a ton of crazy crap in my life but I wouldn't have had the guts to do that one.

If I'm going to slide out, I prefer hay bails instead of brick walls or cliffs.

Two dead this year and one very serious crash involving a racer and an official responding to what was a fatality.

It takes racing to an entirely new level, but it's been going on countless years. Makes John Force's explosions look easily survivable.
