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”.
