Ah, but just take a stroll over to the technical engine section and check out the hundreds of threads by owners doing far worse... And give the dude credit for taking the time to produce the video. I give this one a huge

I found that video pretty funny. Most guys are too uptight to admit their mistakes and he did it in a video posted online. Gotta give him credit.

Much better produced/edited video than I expected. Really good!
E46 M3. Shredded his rear axle when dumping the clutch at the strip. Towed home.

Very well done, I wonder if he's on any of these forums. How many people here on this forum hasn't launched their cars like they "were" at a drag strip, I'm putting my money on almost none. Who would buy a 300+ hp car and not lay down the hammer once in a while?

You gotta pay to play and in this case, the dude surely paid. Drag racing is not that exciting anyways..road racing is where it's at! |

Anyway, I am not a big fan of drag racing, but I liked the video he made fun of himself, and took the blame.
