Hard to watch. Lots to learn. Warning: Somewhat graphic

He didn't have one. Apparently he was looking to install one and thought he'd just trailer the car to shows in the meantime..

So many question on this. seen the video a while ago. Had the same question then. What was he thinking. No nuetral in this vehicle? reverse valve body? 

Why would somebody drive it like that? Just trying to show it off. Throttle was sticking so kept going?? WTF. 1300 HP and not wearing harnesses?

 

Happened pretty fast and could possibly be anybody but too many things went wrong. Feel sorry for the people they hit and the guy in passengers seat. 

You take a chance getting into someone else vehicle.

Saw that a while back. Shut the F ing car off !!! Really..gear down to start with. Had my throttle stick (old school) Pedal was only a lever anchored to the floor. Had  to bend over and pull lever up by had to shut car down. Not the smartest man...but would have shut off ignition to kill acceleration...

They were pretty stupid in how they went about this drive. Clowns, that's all there is to it. Lucky they didn't take out more people.
