Interesting. I'd previously seen a really short excerpt of that video, basically, the guy gunning it and then panicking and then the crash, but no before or after or anything else. When I was a kid, I did stoplight drags in more populous areas in a car with 4 wheel drum brakes that I probably should have gone through completely, but did not. Fortunately, the car was not that fast, and as said, I always got lucky. As a matter of fact, I remember racing one of the teachers from my school once, and thinking back now, I can't believe he took part.

Fortunately, I've gotten smarter, more experienced, and more cautious as an adult.

Those guys were maroons.
