Camaro wrecks at 195 passengers walk away...

Watch This 1800-Horsepower Camaro Flip off a Runway at Nearly 200 mph

You might think drag runway racing is an easy sport. Point the car straight and mash the gas, right? That might very well be true, if you're hitting the strip in your 155-horsepower Miata. When you're driving an 1800-horsepower Chevrolet Camaro, however, the margins for error become a lot slimmer. Nacho Bernal found out what happened when he lost control of his purpose-built drag missile while going almost 200.


The crash happened at what looks to be a recent NARA Speed sanctioned runway racing event. Bernal, along with his passenger, are setting a time in his fully built twin-turbo racing Camaro at a closed airfield. Everything seems to go well during the actual run, but once he crosses the finish line and taps the brakes, it all goes sideways—literally.

The car flies off the runway at 195 miles per hour, flipping and rolling before coming to a stop upside down. Bernal is unhurt, but his passenger is knocked unconscious. Both men end up being okay, but it was a very scary sight nonetheless. Thankfully, paramedics were on scene immediately, and were able to get everyone to safety.

It wasn't all luck that saved Bernal and his passenger from serious injury. The Camaro was adequately equipped with safety gear like a 6-point roll bar and 5-point racing harnesses. This should be a lesson for anyone looking to make huge power to field at a runway event.
