The Crappiest Drag Strip on Earth

BangShift.com

We have to thank, or blame, our chassis builder pal Jon Sandahl for shooting us a link to the video below. It was apparently shot at a place calling itself a drag strip somewhere in the Caribbean.

Long story short, we may actually recommend street racing over racing at this “track.” Actually, it appears racing at this “track” is street racing because the place is nothing more than an old hunk of road.

Things to look for include the pre-caved in roof of the Mustang that’s about to run, the crowd of people standing way to close to the car and the, umm, shape, of the shutdown area.

If you have seen a shoddier, scarier, more worn out excuse for a drag strip, please send along a photo, we’d love to see it.

HAHAHAHAaaaaaah… ahhhh… haaahhhh… gasp.

Biblically Epic Fail!
-
Not a 1/4 mile. Likely not even 1/8 mile. Metric? LOL.
-
You can tell that car went down that track before from the dents in the roof.
-
…and the genius of the sudden turn in the dirt at the end. A Delicious touch.
-
but maybe that facility and that one car was the best they could muster up, and I give the spectators kudos for standing near the action where the car starts off, as opposed to the other end where it inevitably loses control. Reduces the Darwin effect, so they must have at least some grey matter among them.

wow, and i tought lapeer intl. in Lapeer, MI was a shitty track! (from what i know, and racing there hasn’t made me think otherwise, it opened in the early 60’s and has never had a repave after over forty mid michigan winters. i swear to god, ive seen guys catch air in the leftlane of the shutdown area!)

Halfway down the track I was like “WTF, gave up on the track making a little early did we?”. Served him right for being a retard and thinking this was a good idea.

no wonder the mustang wrecked, it probably ran over 10 potholes and bumps, if i had a mustang or anything else like that i damn sure wouldn’t take it on a shitty ass track like that, i wouldn’t even race a POS on that track, that mustang was waaay to nice to even touch that track
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
right around the start line and x-mas tree it didn’t look as bad as i thought it was going to be, its still shitty but not as bad as i’d thought it was going to be, but when it showed the stang go down the track and i saw the rest of the track then ya i agreed that its the shittiest track i’ve ever seen, oval dirt tracks are better than this
