Drag Racer Takes Flight At 200mph Yet Still Wins Round
Two-time Funny Car champion Cruz Pedregon went for an incredibly wild ride during the Toyota NHRA Nationals in Las Vegas after his drag racer caught flight and completed a beautiful wheelie
The Funny Car took flight at over 200mph, going up onto the wheelstand. All four wheels briefly went off the ground as Pedregon’s car crossed the line on just its rear wheels at 218mph, before the front tyres came back down to earth.
Sadly, though, Pedregon couldn’t contest the following round as the car was too badly damaged by the trip through the air and the painful slam back down to the tarmac. According to the NHRA website, he said “The car’s bent like a pretzel”.

It’s a DRAG that he couldn’t compete in the other races.

“Beam me up, Scotty. We’re ready to take off at 200 mph!”
Seems like the Hilux is not the only Toyota which likes to keep half of its wheels off the ground
The body leaning forward somehow reminded me of this :D
