Jay Leno Crashes In 2500 hp Hemi Under Glass Car
Hurst Hemi Under Glass is a series of exhibition drag racing cars that was campaigned by Hurst Performance from 1965 to 1975.
The wheel standing cars were based on the Plymouth Barracuda for the current year and the car was developed by Hurst Corporation with help from well-known wheel stander Wild Bill Schrewsberry.
The car was driven by Bob Riggle of Mansfield Oh.
Riggle returned to exhibition racing in 1992 with a replica of the 1968 car.
In the video below you see Jay Leno fulfilling one of his bucket list wishes that almost involve him kicking the bucket. Really a must watch video .

Absolutely stunning!Nancy and Bob Dunbar with their #original owner 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge in their Beachfield neighborhood. When Pontiac brought out its first GTO in 1964, it was a special edition of the Tempest, and the initials stood for Grand Tempest Option. Project Manager John DeLorean - of DeLorean auto fame - dictated that the Judge would always be this color orange, which was first patented by #Chevrolet and called #PontiacGTOJudge #CarouselRed #HuggerOrange #BobDunbar #GrandTempestOption #GeneralMotors

Not sure why I've seen red, white and blue Judges if this story is true though. In the early '90s, I had a '66 GTO frankenstein LeMans creation with a 400 Chevy engine in it. Closest I ever got...

DumbAss!
Awesome car to watch in it’s day.
Can’t handle the power, don’t get in it

Could happen to anybody. Don’t fool yourself – these things go sideways more often than you think.
I wouldn’t drive a car like that if I was u it’s the driver idiot I been racing 35 years 2100hp never happened to me 80 years old casket time
Especially with all the weight in the back, car was not made to turn
Muscle Car Fan Grumpy Jenkins figured that out. His cars had steerable wheelie bars.
I remember seeing this in person years ago ..
Sox & Martin has faster ET
Totally different car with a rear mounted engine, built for wheel standing. Not drag racing !
Oh well, and?
This car was a piece of history, and the “dumbass” as you call him has driven it for many years. The problem was there wasn’t enough room left when the car came down again onto four wheels, and he had to turn sharply causing the car to barrel roll.
