We all understand the perils that come with engaging in something as dangerous as drag racing. But even if you're pretty much risking life and limb at the thrill of the ride, a lot of people still strap on their seat belts to push the proverbial pedal to the metal.

This video, however, illustrates just how quickly things can go wrong in a drag strip. A pair of Nissan GT-Rs->ke1592 were primed and ready for some racing action but shortly after the green light turned on, the driver of one of the GT-Rs immediately loses control of his car, sending it spinning out of control and barely avoiding the cement walls not once, not twice, but three times!

Luckily, the driver managed to reign in his Godzilla before heading to the finish line with his car still intact and, more importantly, his body still in the right place.

Here's to hoping the driver is more careful next time around.
