Jeff Evans recently managed a 8.98 second quarter at 167 mph in his 950 hp Integra. That's the good news. The bad news is that after crossing the quarter mile line, he wrecked. In car video after the jump! Via BangShift

By: MrAMC1 11/11/2011 2:05 PM He ALMOST took out that Civic in the other lane! Pretty hard hit, but I guess he was going pretty fast too! |

By: 1lowscort 11/11/2011 2:06 PM Jesus, that Honda in the next lane nearly died along with the Integra! That thing is pretty freaking fast though! |

By: 66Mope 11/11/2011 3:52 PM I just can't imagine trying to control a car with that much power to the front wheels. |

By: BigMike3023 11/11/2011 5:29 PM Seems like he lost it when putting his right arm up. Was he releasing the chute? |

By: dragorphan 11/12/2011 9:59 AM That sucks. I'am not an import guy but you have to respect any car that runs in the 8's. Hope he can fix it or swap the drive train into another body. |

By: 66Mope 11/12/2011 12:17 PM BigMike3023--agreed, and yes, I think he was releasing his chute |

By: Donology 11/12/2011 1:08 PM It's not funny but I do like it at the end when he shot the bird (at car) and threw his gloves at the windshield. Like it's the car's fault that he crashed. Hope he rebuild and get back at it, don't celebrate so hard next time. |

By: thecobrahunter 11/12/2011 8:48 PM Real nice. Rocketed down the strip like a comet, then fuks up by flippn some switches after winning, and loses control. What a waste! |

By: Comrick317 11/12/2011 9:33 PM OOOOOOPs and oh shit. He would have smoked the Honda though. |

By: dragorphan 11/12/2011 11:52 PM Most of the crashes in faster cars tend to happen after the Finnish line. When you hit the brakes at that speed the rear end likes to come around on you. Front wheel drives tend to do it even worse than rear wheel due to the lite rear. |

By: Gregarious 11/13/2011 7:15 AM That civic had a monster launch! But seriously, what do you expect in a FWD when you're accelerating that hard and start slowing down, your back wheels are almost in the fucking air, counter steer that bitch! |

By: mrjasonlyrics 11/15/2011 3:40 AM This is the only thing that scares me in drag racing.You invest all this money in a car,spend months and years in preperation to watch destroy in seconds.It's could happend to to most experienced drivers.But that's the reality.He was going extremely fast though!!! |

By: PathosBedlam 11/15/2011 5:42 AM A damn shame. But dude that other car was freaking lucky. It looked like when he hit the parachute or whatever he was doing on the roof, he lost sight of where he was going and started to lock up and then slid over to the right. A real bugger, with times like that. Pathos. |

By: MychaelZ 11/15/2011 7:05 AM He wasn't "flippn [sic] some switches," he reached up to pop the chute. And it appears that when he took his right hand off the wheel to do so, either he pulled the wheel slightly left, or the car pulled left on its own. Either way, he tried to compensate, but lost control. Stuff happens in racing. |

By: KillaDX 11/15/2011 9:28 AM Nice run but that sucks, almost took out the Civic. This is a comment someone posted on youtube about the video, the reason for the crash: "I was at the race, he crashed right in front of RV, we were wondering why he pulled the chute only going 167mph at MIR? What caused this wreck? Was the chute in the wrong place because the whole back of the car lifted off the ground once he pulled the chute." |

By: isuna 11/15/2011 9:48 AM He should have stomp on the gas while trying to steer in the right direction (that's what I usually do), damage could have been less... Well, good luck on rebuilding!!! |

By: granolavsraisins 11/15/2011 11:42 AM I could tell he was happy he smoked that Civic...but that's when things got real. He took his hand off the wheel of a 950 HP rhino and still drove it away like a G!! I call that a lucky F***. That reminds me of the story on Project car magazine where Robbie Perez smoked a Mustang at 10.83 at 135 MPH... If you haven't read about it, it's a good read. |

By: lakeforestmuscle 11/15/2011 7:53 PM That's what you get for driving a fartcan ricer. Who cares if it runs 8's, it's still an import fartcan ricer. I can make my go-cart do 8's if I wanted, but it's still a fucking go-cart. American Muscle will always be better then this import shit. |

By: John63850 11/16/2011 5:09 AM ^^^ you sir are a Ignorant tool. It's a shame what happened to the car, but the owner said he was scrapping this project and starting another build instead. |
