Watch This Drag Camaro Nearly Eat It On a Curb

This amazing second-gen Camaro could have ended this run in disaster. Instead, its driver just has an interesting story to tell.

Against a hungry-looking Chevy II, the Camaro takes a narrow lead right away. Then, trouble hits, and its right side goes up the curb and into the grass. The Camaro mounts the curb in a cloud of dirt, but saves it—and the most amazing part? It still holds the lead.

Check out the video to see both cars in action. This is a hell of a race, and a hell of a save to boot: we’re glad we didn’t have to see the driver picking up the pieces.
