It looks like Urban Hillbilly Action Video’s Sean Melton is breaking open the company vault because some very, very cool videos have begun to pop up on the UH’s YouTube page. This video was taken at Smokin’ Mo-Kan Dragway and it features a nitrous fed, big block powered fourth gen Pontiac Firebird standing on its bumper and then going through one of the craziest high speed incidents that end with the car striking nothing that we have ever seen. By rights, this thing should have hit the guy in the other lane, both walls, the state lottery, Hitler’s ghost, and the first three rows of cars in the parking lot. Instead it hit a foam block in the center of the track and the only casualty appears to have been driver Brent Martin’s undergarments.

Melton asked the same question on the YouTube page that we’ll ask here and that is whether the fact that this didn’t end in disaster was because Martin owned it and manhandled the car off the walls or was it simple (but still amazing) physics at work? We say it early and often with these types of videos but the fact is that great drag racing drivers show their skills when the crap hits the fan and there were a few five gallon buckets heaved at a windmill in this situation. When you watch the tape and really pay attention to it, Martin is definitely driving the car but the question goes back to the value of his efforts versus the simple trajectory the careening automobile was on. We want your opinion on that.

We’re going to keep our eyes peeled on the Urban Hillbilly page because Melton was the forefather of lots of the great small tire drag racing coverage we see everywhere today. This guy knew what the coming tidal wave was in the sport years before it hit and he traversed the country hitting tracks that many people had never even heard of before. We can’t imagine what the dude has in his vault from the early days of his adventures.
