Attending track events can be one of the most exhilarating and exciting things you can do with your car. From novice drivers to experts, nothing says “fun” like wringing out your ride at speed. With speed however comes the chance for danger and in a race track environment there is usually “zero” warning when things are about to go south.

Racer Jere Etheridge recently found this out when piloting what looks to be a late model Mustang down the 1,320. Not only did he have traction and power, but he also had the balls to stay in it the entire run making for one of the most exciting passes I’ve ever seen. Don’t believe me?

Here in the United States driving is a privilege, not a right and Americans view their licenses as gold. We study, take courses and ultimately take a long drawn-out drivers test in order to be deemed “competent” to operate a motor vehicle. In other parts of the world though it seems that not only does driver training not exist, but that there are also no negative ramifications for taking out another motorist. The following crash compilation comes to us from Russia, and hot damn if it’s not one of the best we’ve seen to date.

It’s one of the most frightening videos I’ve ever seen, and one that makes you realize just how dangerous driving can be. Unfortunately most motorists take for granted the perils that can sometimes surround us when we’re out on the open road. We get compliant and sometimes lazy and that sometimes puts us in harms way or worse. This video was posted not for its shock value, but as a simple reminder to be safe out there.

I know I would, and this video is the reason why. This is an old Chevrolet C-10 short bed pickup with one helluva’ wicked turbo-diesel. It belches black smoke, scares children and, if you can keep it in a straight line, will most likely run 9′s down the quarter mile. Click through and let the black smoke begin!
