Dashcam caught the scene as the BMW ran a 8.56 quarter mile before crashing into the wall
A BMW M240i xDrive owner crashed his car after reaching 170 mph at the drag strip with several cameras filming. He walked away unscathed but the car has likely seen its last days on the road or the track. The video is a sobering reminder of how far modern safety gear has come and how important it is to reserve this driving for the track. Going racing is an exciting prospect for most but sometimes things go wrong quickly.
56-second pass at 170 mph , the car pulled hard to the right. Its pilot countersteered quickly but not fast enough. He glances off the right wall and then slides across both lanes to hit the left wall. From there, he's capable and cognizant enough to keep the car straight down the middle of the track. Somehow the driver walked away with no major injuries. It's a sad end to what looked like a promising day. He made the run itself quite cleanly and even posted a 0-60 mph time of 2.
