The folks over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC0PXqiud6dbwOAk8RvslgpQ\">1320Video<\/a>\u00a0captured the crash from a spectators view as well as from the drivers perspective&#8211;a scary moment indeed. Magnus Frost from Mora, Sweden, the driver of the Opel Ascona, waited a whole year to get to drag week after failing to make the event last year due to customs holding the car. After a great launch unfortunately, Magnus&#8217; Opel got out of the groove, and lost control, sending the rare Opel into the right-hand wall. Thankfully Magnus exited the car under his own strength and walked away with no injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The good news for Magnus and his friends from over seas is that they brought two Opel Asconas to run, and the other car ran a personal best of 7.76 at 177.02 and still remains in the competition. The crashed Opel still holds the fastest pass of the event with a blistering 230.30 mph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Day 2 of Dragweek at Cecil County Dragway in Marlyand had one of it&#8217;s biggest crashes to date. <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":65175,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3465,3470,5029,3034],"tags":[3526,412,98,7118,41,7117,1593],"class_list":["post-65168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-drag-racing","category-news","category-racing","category-videos","tag-1320-video","tag-crash","tag-drag-week","tag-magnus-frost","tag-news","tag-opel","tag-video"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/rgergregreg.png","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p42YSK-gX6","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65168"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65168\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65180,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65168\/revisions\/65180"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
