  1. @robinrobertsracing7668 , now you are truly "Down Under" … Australia has been a tough go for the NPK crews … Good luck to all the teams . @discoverchannel , you owe Robin a car …

  2. So Ryan Martin wrecks his car in testing I heard the rear end locked up not sure if that was the case or not, now Robin Roberts gets laid on its side inside the trailer so that is two cars down in the first week the other drivers are probably starting to wonder if they will be taking their cars home in one piece or not.

  3. The floors are slick and there isnt a secure way to tie the cars down. Not like the trailers they haul in each week in the US. I use to haul Mexican manufactured Dodge Ram vans from Laredo, Texas to dealers in the mid west. If the truck driver had to stop suddenly the vans would push through the nose of the trailer. Thank God I was very careful and never had a problem. Too bad these NPK teams are learning the hard way.

  4. i bet it will be a long time before any of these guys will ever do something like this again.. discovery really has a shit show on their hands.. right from the start with the flights to the rest of the mess!!

  5. No matter who it is, I don't want anyone to lose their car. It's a shame. Not sure what is happening with Phoenix, you would think someone would update us. Will it be ready to race or not. Like a blackout. Ridiculous!!!

  6. Man that suck I feel so bad for him. I've said it many times I hate seeing these awesome machines get damaged. I really hate that. Theres more than one box on that truck did anyone else's car get hurt?

  7. Classic incorrect loading of a drag car in a container for long distance road transport in Australia. You can't just strap the car down 4 ways and its all good. the car needs to be jacked up off the front and rear tyres with big timber blocks supporting the chassis front mid and rear sections.
    The soft suspension and rear slicks of a drag car bounce like crazy and straps will loosen and sometimes come off, once on the blocks then strap the car down 6 ways 2x front 2x rear and 2x centre with the ratchet strap and a bar not just your arm.
    Perth to Sydney is a hideous road to travel on, bumpy and in poor condition, then there is the wildlife, cows, camels and emu's are the most dangerous they will write a truck off no problem which is probably what this driver tried to avoid and lost.
