Watch a dragster spin at 155 mph
Last week, three-time NHRA champion, Larry Dixon, made quite an entrance to his drag racing career in Australia.
During his first ever pass Down Under at Willowbank Raceway, he broke an axle sending him into a hellish high-speed 360-degree spin. Amazingly he didn't hit any walls, or his opponent Damien Harris.
