A good number of those accidents could have been much minimized if the driver had gotten out of the throttle at the first sign of trouble. Many of them only got into serious trouble by trying to get back into the power when the car was already squirrelly. In almost all of those instances those cars didn't have a chance to win the race so I'm baffled why they didn't just shut down and save the equipment as best they could.

I agree. I noticed that too.
What kind of an ego do you have to have to think you can save it?

You realize many of those are intentional? Many of these are at Byron's wheelie contest where some are trying for the wildest wheelstands. There are 2 cars on there that were build just to flip over intentional.

Yeah, when you've got contengency stickers on the bottom of the car, you can figure it's going to spend time on its roof(or side).

Yes I realize that. But a LOT of those clips were just racing, nothing to do with a wheelie contest.
 
Cool stuff; thank you for the vid.
