VIDEO: ANOTHER ANGLE OF FRANKIE TAYLOR'S WILD RIDE

 

VIDEO: FRANKIE TAYLOR'S WILD RIDE

taylor_two_wheelsReigning ADRL Pro Extreme World Champion Frankie “Mad Man” Taylor lived up to his nickname with another wild ride in fourth-round qualifying Saturday at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas.

Running in the left lane alongside Sheikh Khalid Al-Thani, Taylor got the jump off the start, but nearing half-track his 2005 Corvette suddenly veered right, raising up on its two left wheels and crossed the center line, appearing on an almost certain collision course with Al-Thani’s ’68 Camaro.

Taylor already had his chutes out, though, and when blossomed with air, they slowed him down enough to settle his car back on four wheels as he slipped in behind Al-Thani in the right lane and motored on through the shutdown lane, unscathed.
