The famous Mooneyes dragster crashed yesterday in Belgium...

[Terry Sumner]

Right off the start...veered right...into the guardrails. Driver is okay.

Glad to hear the driver is OK and thats bad news about the Mooneyes dragster.

Glad the driver was OK. They will probably rebuild the car if it wasn't destroyed in the crash. I couldn't tell how badly it was damaged in the video.

That looks like the "old days" of drag racing at that dragway. I'm sure they can fix the car, glad the driver wasn't hurt.

[Austin T]

Maybe when they fix it they will also re-release the model version.

Well they were able to push it up on a flatbed!

[Fat Brian]

That doesn't look too bad, it should buff right out.

I'm guessing this is the replica, not the original?

Not the first time - here's the frame from the last version, they crashed that one in Japan if I remember correctly.

I wonder if the original is at the Garlits Museum.

I took these pics while in Fla. 2-3 years ago.

Thank god he is o.k. but i am so surprise that the track official's didn't let no vht on to the track for prep and probalably the track had moister on it.Driver should been aware the circumstance.

I wonder if the original is at the Garlits Museum.

Yes, from what I understand the Garlits Museum car is the original. The other one you often see at vintage meets and so forth is a very fine recreation.

What, No burnout? Actually is that track just like normal road, I mean that it's not prepped for Drag Racing?

Sad news, even if it wasn't the original one. I hope they can fix the car.
