I've never understood what the point of this is. You're deliberately damaging your ride?

They probably have a plate on the bottom of their rides so it doesn't damage the chassis itself

Well, the video info is:

"Valley Drag 2009 in the Rio Grande Valley
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME
DRAG AT YOUR OWN RISK "

Drag at your own risk... must be a risk involved.

Well they add extra metal plate to the frames in order to not damage the actual chassis. Some of these have been built to withstand dragging runs like that, one guy came down from houston for this also. fuel tanks are relocated also and such. One guy lost control when started to drag, slide sideways then it straightened back out and aired up continued, but something happened with his transmission, lost all the fluid some how even though the pan was fine and nothing leaked. If they drag on a bad road with potholes, say bye bye to axles, transmissions or even cracked engine blocks. What some people also they weld ball hitches to frame in order to drag, seen foglamps fly off also

but it does have that OOOOoooohhhh!!!! factor for some people. some people think having big drag radials on the back looks stupid, but people do it just the same as others using underglow, flashy paint jobs, or big wheels. it's all about personal interests & taste.

yeah but is it just me or are they doing this on a public freeway? pretty sure a cop could pick about ten laws and choose which one he wanted to write them up for.
