Australian Drag Racer Somehow Survives Horrific Crash

This is why you wear your seat belts, kids.

According to USA Today, the Fuchs Winternationals at Willowbank Raceway in Brisbane got really fuching scary this weekend when a drag racer’s car went airborne and split in two.



Phil Lamattina was readying himself behind the wheel of a brand new 10,000-horsepower car Saturday afternoon when a chassis failure rocketed him into the wall alongside the track.

Surprisingly, Lamattina still had a pulse when his vehicle came to a halt. In fact, he was conscious after the horrific ordeal and was treated by on-track officials before leaving for a nearby hospital. Doctors there discovered Lamattina had shattered one of his vertebrae, but he is expected to make a full recovery.
