I dunno, maybe the insane amount of power.
This car runs incredible times in the 1/4.

IIRC, that Z has over 1000WHP and it was running on slicks. It is very easy to go sideways or just to over correct for small sideways movement and go way off track. The driver is lucky he went toward the other lane, instead of directly into the right hand wall. Obviously, he got lucky again to not hit the other vehicle nor the far wall.

ok, not sure if this is on purpose or if its just an honest mistake, but i see waaaaaay to many people spelling losing or loses with one too many o's. its losing not loosing and loses not looses.

I'm sure so did the other driver . . . nothing like another car crossing your path while going down the 1/4 mile at over 100+ mph!

If you watch the vid at about the 2:04 mark you see the car drift to the right and out of the groove. When you're out of the groove, your **** out of luck and you just go skating on marbles
