Vintage drag Camaro goes airborne racing C5 Corvette

Vintage drag Camaro goes airborne racing C5 Corvette

Well, that’s gone wrong, then.

Drag racing is unique in that the speeds are incredible, but so are the crashes. And when this first-gen Camaro faces off against a brutal-looking C5 Corvette, it gets a little nose-happy on the launch and turns a wheelie into an airborne adventure.

Sending the front wheels to a near-vertical position, the gold and black Camaro lands right on the concrete barrier. Then, it skids across the whole track. The front one-piece nose come flies off before it comes to a rest in the opposite lane.

Fortunately, it seems like the driver—Dewayne “Big Daddy” Mills, the “Quickest Man on Radials”—is okay. But hey—wheelie bars are always a good thing.
