The Big Tire Final at the ORP No Prep Event got ugly fast. Glad both drivers were OK. The Homewrecker Motorsports Studebaker ‘The Frigg’ got the worts of the deal being pushed into the railing.

What a dick for hitting the other car. Should have turned well before that
Is that the same Studebaker that was all black for years? Either way it’s heartbreaking to see two beautiful cars mangled. But the positive outlook is the cars did their job and saved their drivers lives
Sad seeing both cars like this glad drivers were ok
Chevelle driver choked bad.
What a shame for the other guy. That was a nice car.
I'm not going to sugarcoat it the guy in the Chevelle is an idiot who should not be driving anything remotely that fast as soon as he noticed he lost the race he should have got out of it he stayed in it way past the finish then tried to break dudes a moron
We're either of these cars fixed?
Its amazing the fire all went away from the wreck.
What a sad run
When you drive fast cars and your opponent has his chute out get get your chute out the run is done! Even if your side weighs get your shoot out
What a heartbreaking way to piss away a bunch of sweat and money.
No parachutes?
If the throttle was stuck, can't you just press the clutch?
From Leo: Wow, what a sad day. It is good that they both walked away and will race another day. Not real easy to find Studebaker bodies to replace that one.
I guess he was too freaked out to pull his chute?
Damn!
Dam itttt so sad beautiful cars completely ruint
When your losing or lost just get out of it… what a maroon.
the guy in the chevy ss needs to stop trying to drive its not his cup of tea
It’s heartbreaking to see this but cars can be rebuilt. Thank goodness for all the safety equipment we have available today.
Is there insurance for this kind of incident or does the driver man up and pay for the damages I’m just curious? I know it is racing but if I caused it I would pay for it
"You're not gonna gaptize me I'll ram ya!!!"
Chute pulled on the Chevelle might have contributed to an avoidance of disaster.
wow the whole front ripped off that car. that is hard to believe. to me something wasnt welded or designed correctly. im not an expert on building cages, just observing the carnage.. sucks for both teams… glad they walked away.
When your cars brake don't exist, may as well crash into a perfectly good car to try & stop!
Damn. That's gonna take a whole case of duct tape.
Looks like the Chevelle dude piled up some task-saturation in his brain real fast with that apparent stuck throttle. Too bad for the Hemi-baker, looks (looked) like a beautiful machine.
OK, stupid question: Like, who pays for the damage? These are expensive machines and one guy clearly hit the other. I'm doubting there's "insurance" (other than sponsors- but there's no big logos so I'm guessing no sponsors), so does each owner just shrug and go his own way with a 100k worth of damage????
That Studebaker was awesome, but not after it was hit by the heavy-Chevy
Jet Funny car!

I guess that the builder of the SS did not do his math right on getting the preload right .
