Re: Copperhead crash video...
That is the craziest crash. It wasn't because of the 1-2 shift, you can see him shift way before he loses control. Looks like he didn't make a smooth 1-2 shift causing him to just break the tires loose and instead of pedaling the throttle a tad he decided to stay in it. Maybe when it started to drift right he turned the wheel slightly to the left to correct at the same time shifting into third which pulled the power out causing the tires to bite and he nailed the wall.
I've drag raced 6 speeds for years and can't figure out what he was trying to accomplish. horrible reaction time, maybe first time at the track, perhaps first time every flooring the car and he simply did not understand how a high power car reacts.
Oh and let those guys on the other forums crack all they want, it's their way of making them feel better about their own car purchase.
