While you’re out there drag racing, you never really know what’s going to happen. One moment things might be going as according to plan and the next, well, your plan becomes unhinged, sending you for quite a wild ride as you can do nothing but hang on and hope for the best.
This time, we catch up with just that situation as things get a little bit scary when a couple of cars that you might recognize line up at National Trail Raceway of No Prep Kings event: Bonnie and Fireball Camaro. As Martin commented, he put a hot tuneup in his car and thought that the race track was in good condition to lay down a great pass. However, when going head-to-head with fellow competitor, Lizzy Musi, Martin admits that racing with Musi has been a little bit of a challenge. Martin remarks that Musi has had his number over the years and this year, he hoped to turn a corner to try and gain the upper hand.

When the duo went down the track, Martin did end up coming out ahead. As the drivers began to slow down a little bit, both were moving around the track quite a bit. With that, both drivers crossed the center line, banging doors with one another at incredibly high speeds. Martin says that it was about 200 mph when they hit into one other. It’s something that you never wish on any racer but sometimes, losing control is simply unavoidable as putting down that much power to any surface is something that’s incredibly difficult to do right.

If you follow along down in the video below, you’ll find the cars end up kissing as they end up making the most of the bad situation. Martin even commented that it was incredibly lucky that the two did not lose control after running into each other at 200 mph. Fortunately, the only damage to be found after the fact was a little bit of body damage and both cars would roll away on to future competition.
