POV Video of Drag Racer Explosion: Scary as All Hell

Let’s be real. I just can’t remember the last time I’d actually seen anything on Break, other than some odd early 2000’s backyard fight videos that people seem to love reposting to their FB feeds.

Anyways, I digress. Here’s a insanely scary video of Ron Capps’ terrifyingly fiery funny car explosion at NHRA Winternationals ’14. See the video first (pulled from Youtube) – from multiple angles (both in and out of the cockpiat) then continue reading below.

I’ve probably replayed this a dozen times in the half hour and I’m still blinking in disbelief. Trust me, it took every ounce of self control to not headline this article with a terrible buzzworthy headline:

“A TERRIFYING DRAG RACER EXPLOSION, YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT”

But seriously, after seeing Ron’s dragster tear in half from the force of the explosion, with parts flying into the other car, I couldn’t believe my eyes at the outcome (spoiler warning).

With everything happening within a few seconds of time, I’m almost certain this he went through multiple episodes, nay an entire full-length TRILOGY of his own life review. Best of all though?

This triumphant high five moment.
