Funny cars are, in essence, bombs. 8,000hp monsters packed with highly combustible liquid, to be detonated in a controlled explosion. But things don’t always work as planned!
We thought we’d seen everything but we’ve definitely never seen this before: not one but two Funny Cars going ka-boom halfway down a drag strip mid-race. This bizarre occurrence happened to Matt Hagan and Robert Hight, before crossing the finish line at the Amalie Motor Oil Gatornationals in Gainesville.
