Everyone knows that there is always a possibility for mishaps when it comes to drag racing. What we don’t get to see too often, however, is that mishap resolving itself before anything bad happens. And that is exactly what happened to Tim Slavens at Georgia Motorsports Park’s Lights Out 12 drag racing event on Wednesday.
Slavens’ car, a 1969 Chevy Camaro, is said to be pushing around 3,500 hp (3,549 PS / 2,610 kW) from a fully built V8 engine with two 102mm turbochargers according to Autobahn. That’s a lot of power, and it allowed Slavens to set the radial tire world record back in 2019. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and on Wednesday’s run that same power resulted in the Camaro’s nose lifting up enough for it to take flight.
