Dumb motorsports videos

[cfossum]

I get a kick out of these compilations, but I've never seen such a collection of ridiculous and unsafe practices as this one.
Lack of helmets, people running out of the way, and crazy-close camera angles near out of control vehicles. Of particular interest is at 7:20 when a guy almost gets killed by his own car. The water hazard at the end is interesting too.

I've seen videos like this before, and I just can not understand it. The most recent one I saw was one of these machines rolled over and then had a large fuel fire. The video feed "claimed" the driver and passenger were OK, but from watching it I'm not sure how.

I cetainly don't understand the "sport" of this at all, but whatever floats your boat. But it is just crazy how lacking they are on safety gear.

I remember a "mud bog" event video where a guy wasn't wearing any belts, and the truck tipped over, he was suck under it and almost drown. Folks running through the mud to try to get to this monster truck to try and get his head above water. So dumb..

because i'm only charging you less than 1/2 price of my hourly rate i'm not making any money at all on your car . nothing , not-a ,zip , 0 . if you want to pay full price i will work on the car every minute of every work day .
other wize i have to pay my bills and eat some how and that is by doing other jobs as i pick away at your car . this i have told you . as i have told you i do spend time working on it every day .
the motor that is going into the car is finished and the blow one in the car is almost set to be pulled out .
there are two trany leaks that will have to be fix when i drop the motor .
i have also repair the hole roof of the car so there are no more hail damage or dents .
i also have to repair the bumper as it's falling off the car but that i will do after i finish the motor .
so be patient it's getting done .

"I also have to repair the whole roof of the car, to remove the hail damage and dents "

Dimples on golf balls make them fly straighter and faster..so maybe you should leave them,or even add some...

[962porsche]
