Dang. This is so tragic. Our thoughts and prayers are naturally extended to him and his closest friends and family. All of the things that could have been done are irrelevant. Celebrate the young man's life and learn respectfully. Positive energy sent from here and attention is thoroughly paid. Thank you @Kern417 for taking the time to convey to us the importance of safety detail and practices.

Young man I appreciate you coming to ANDRE BEADLE. Defense. But you have a responsibility to put yourself in the best position to win a race. Also you have the responsibility to put yourself in the best position to walk away from an accident by taking all safety measures you can street racing or track. You younger generation refused to take accountability for anything.

Literally the only video about his passing I appreciate. Rest easy 1stock

[@Tracked350Z]

This is the worst PSA and says absolutely nothing. There's a reason every class has a specific set of rules beyond 10.00 and 155 mph. I get going 170-0 there isn't a whole lot, but in reality, there is. There's a reason cage hoops are required on 7 second cars and the cage designs differ between 7.99 and 6.99 cars. He's in an 8.0 car with factory seats and seat belts. There's absolutely nothing safe about this and you would not be allowed to race on any track for safety purposes unless its a private rental. He's racing on the street and we're talking about harnesses and seats being illegal? What? Safety first. I've been in the racing scene since the very early 00's, have seen this countless times. Seen a guy get decapitated at a yellow belly event when he had a 10.00 car, no cage, and hits a tree. Safety first. Get something anything betters your chances of survival.

[@PvTNuclear]

Agreed. People act like James Kempf from speed factory didn't clip a turn around zone at a track a few years and go from 200 to near zero instantly. He survived due to the very well built chassis he was in. Certs are thing for a reason, people have been racing and dying in crashes since the beginning of drag racing. I personally have been in a wreck on the street that knocked me out and didn't get thrown from the car thanks to my cage and harness.

[@pilotvanquish3886]

Absolutely. This video was all excuses in my opinion. I had to thumbs it down.

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

..." and you would not be allowed to race on any track for safety purposes unless its a private rental" And there you go. The only reason they require you to abide by all those safety regulations is because the event owners don't want to be sued. You pay the money, you can do what you like.

[@Tracked350Z]

@starfox_wr-45e93 or because it's beneficial to the event organizers to not have a bunch of deaths at their event so no one wants to attend as a driver? No matter how you look at it, it's beneficial to the drivers.

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

@Tracked350Z but it's fine for track owners tho because they get the bag. The world is going soft, only motorcyclists are left when it comes to this safety / nanny state nonsense.

[@nebuaa]

to be fair i mean he was going too fast to say yes a seatbelt would’ve saved him or not. but almost a year ago i crashed going 140 mph on a highway and went off the road, flew off and flipped forward into a ditch and i can almost guaranteed say that the seatbelt saved my life. one from flying out and two from not flying towards the roof of the car and hitting my head when the car smacked the floor upside down. seatbelts do guaranteed save lives. in this case no one will ever know because we can’t change what has happened. my respects to 1stock and rip. legend gone too soon.

[@Phillyfishbull]

Seatbelt …. And if your car Is quicker than a 10sec … a roll cage in my opinion is a MUST.!!!

[@murgeecars]

Had a friend pass away due to not using seat belt going 100+ mph on street and I can say confidently if he had worn his seatbelt, the chances of his survival would increase a significant amount. That’s not to say that regardless he shouldn’t have been reaching those speeds on streets or even highways but the scenario of where it happened was likely the main cause of the accident. Everyone just needs to wear seatbelts and do anything possible to increase the probability of survival, doesn’t mean it will save you but your chances are a lot better.

[@AnalogDreamer]

Wrong. His ENTIRE SEAT ejected. Not sure where you guys keep getting this incorrect info. There was nothing stopping that ejection with the exception of maybe a Roll Cage.

[@ooopppiiiuuummm]

stay safe kern your videos are TOP in the b58 community whether people watch or not

[@seb42]

Sorry to say, but I think this is quite an irresponsible video to post up. The fact is, neither you, me or anyone else knows exactly what happened. Claiming that a seatbelt or other safety features wouldn't have made a difference is ignorant. You claim that these safety devices would have done nothing in a collision where deceleration from 160mph to 0 occurs instantaneously. I agree with you there. However, we know this not to be the case. Prior to the collision, there was significant deceleration as the car was spun out and/or sliding down the road. How much the car exactly decelerated before major impact is unknown and would only be calculated/found through forensic investigations or black box recording. A collision at 100mph for instance is absolutely survivable in a modern car. The reality is, the safety measures built in modern cars are quite good. I've seen some absolutely incredible wrecks where only half the car is still left but the driver escaped with major injuries but alive. Admittedly, I am firmly against street racing since you are putting the general public at risk. At any point, you may lose control and end up in oncoming traffic or someone's backyard who had no say in any of it. However, if you choose to partake but refuse to make any investments in safety equipment, then that's on you. In all honesty though, I'm ok with that as well. Ultimately it's you that pays the ultimate price. However, you have a public platform with a decent following comprised by many young impressionable people. Spreading a message of "safety equipment wouldn't have made a difference" is incredibly irresponsible. Sorry to be so blunt, but this is how I see things. Your message can make the difference between someone using a seatbelt and in an accident the difference between life and death.

Except he didn't go from 160-0 in an instant... The car spun out and slid for a significant distance before major impact. How much it decelerated exactly is unknown at this time. It is very possible that at time of major impact car was going around 100mph which is survivable in a modern car. Deceleration when car is sliding/spinning out occurs very quickly

@ You’re the type of person we’re talking about who doesn’t comprehend the difference. No crash at the drag strip at the same speed will be anywhere near as violent as what he experienced.

You’re minimizing the effects of safety equipment on the street. Would a cage have saved his life? We will never know. I raced in the street A LOT. I quit after i got a CDL. I seen guys wreck with cages and without cages etc on the street. Anytime you got a car that fast in the street with no type of safety equipment you on borrowed time. A cage in that car may not have saved his life. It probably would’ve stopped the ass end from getting ripped off and him from being ejected. Cages subframe connectors etc add stiffness to the chassis and it stops the factory chassis from flexing and twisting. Also a diaper can save your life literally. If he had some type of engine issue and it blew fluid under his tires a diaper could’ve prevented that. That’s a piece of safety equipment Guys out here wrecking at 250+ mph and walking away.

If you’re heavy into this thing, always have a tech look things over before hand from the engine to the wheels. Someone mentioned on another post that he was always doing hard pulls in between races. If that’s the case, he should’ve had that car on a stand constantly. He was young and free like I was at his age, and it’s unfortunate that a series of events led to this. He crashed once in the same type of car which was an omen in itself. RIP

What’s weird is that in his first wreck his car spun out at the top of the quarter just by lifting off the throttle. They thought he blew his motor but he had to tell them that the car “just started sliding away”. In this second wreck it appears the car reacted in an extremely similar way at the end of the race.

Yup 💯. In my teens and early 20s we saw some street action but that was when running 15s quarter mile was fast. Now when you're no longer considered fast unless you're in the 9s, it should stay at the track. Public safety is always forgotten about when talking about street racing.

[@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK]

At the track ppl win cause they have the most money into their car. On the street its setup and driver skill. Big difference snowflake. Everyone is fast with a prepped surface. The point of street racing is its takes more skill to win!

I Was a big fan of 1stock. still am. but seatbelt might of not saved him but little things add up. if he was wearing a harness with a cage. im sure he would still be here today. the car also would be alot more intact if there was a cage. dont believe me? reasons why rally drivers were getting thrown off 50 foot hills and bigger and can just walk out. or drag racing where they have crashed at insane speeds. the evidence is out to show cages are a thing for a reason. if your running a 7-8 second car and dont have a cage thats on your own fault. adding 100 pounds or whatever it may be is better then dying. a cage plus a harness would of done ALOT. if not a engine diaper aswell 100$ at jegs or summit. if you argue with me your just a moron aswell.

You then can’t drive the car normally without a helmet once you have a cage

I couldn't agree more. I've been arguing with brain dead people all day about this. Based on where the impact happened, he would have had a really good chance of surviving with a cage and harness.

[@pilotvanquish3886]

@@PvTNuclear It is mind boggling to me how some of these guys stay defending his actions. Proper safety equipment would in fact give him a chance of survival. He had zero excuse to not have any in that car after his last crash in May….

I was in my car yesterday waiting for my mother to come out of her doctor appointment. I went to youtube an typed "M240i"and searched "today" videos. The first thing I saw was a picture of him and it said he died. It's crazy, man. That car was simply too fast for the street. I didn't even like BMW cars until the end of 2022. Especially when the B58 was on the rise. It started with the E36 M3 for me, and then I kept doing research. Hopefully I can get a G87 M2 or an F22 M240i someday. Right now, I'm struggling with my career and health. Nothing is going well in this life. Hopefully Dre made it to Heaven and the Golden City. Jack Burton said, "Never can tell."

[@raw4u22]

MY CONDOLENCES ..... Didn't know the guy at all. I happen to run across a KZbin video three months ago of his shop installing an exhaust system. He seemed very knowledgeable. Then yesterday I saw a video on twitter that caught what appeared to be a small puddle of something on the race section of the street. If that indeed made contact with his tire, under acceleration, it could have easily caused a loss of control. Obviously, racing is dangerous. However, street racing is extremely dangerous due to all the additional variables. One tip I'll share, which is one we have used for over four decades, ensure that you "Walk the Track." Have several people spread across the run section. Walk the length and remove any and all debris. If there's wet spots, dry them. If there's dips, pot holes, etc. choose a different section. I've raced professionally for years, including street racing. We have always approached it with a professional perspective. We never want a person to leave the line to never return. Full respect. Be safe, don't clown.

[@DaDeCodeIsTruth]

THANKYOU! I have been arguing every point you made in every comment section about this crash.

[@Griimnak]

Nice breakdown bro. If it was an automatic his trans or throttle could've got stuck at high rpm causing him to fight against engine braking not able to stop. I don't know anything about his build, but RIP. We gotta keep the culture responsible

[@alexandrewoods3763]

If my brother was wearing his seatbelt during his accident he would’ve died. His steering wheel was pushed into his seat and he was thrown to the passenger seat. My condolences to his family 🙏🏾

I didnt know the guy but RIP, he passed doing what he loved doing knowing the risks. We all take chances every day running 65mph with nothing but a tin door between you and another 3k+ pound car that can lose a ball joint and hit you head on, people die every day being 100% safe and in fear of something happening too.

The car never went to zero it got cut in half and he was ejected from the car alive he hit the ground and that is what killed him. Look at his body no major outside injuries because he was sucked out the back. With full safety measures he would have lived.

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

A regular seat belt/ airbag saved my life when my modded pickup went head on with a logging truck at high speed. I was going so fast that I totaled the big rig and sent its driver to the hospital while I got a helicopter ride to a trauma center after being cut out.

[@AnalogDreamer]

Bro, stop his ENTIRE seat ejected. That has nothing to do with his situation. The impact is what killed him

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

@@AnalogDreamer Seat belts keep broken seats from ejecting.

[@Jamxknife]

Heres what happened. The carbon fiber seat he was using snapped and ejected him from the car. He had his belt on, he had his helmet on, and he had a chute The oem seat would have saved him end of story. Late model cars past 2014 do not require cages at the level his car was at according to the NHRA street rules

If you watched the whole video he says, take it to the track ..

[@romuztek]

It's quite something to say that racing safety equipment is dangerous on the street when talking about this particular case. Each and every piece of racing safety equipment is specifically designed to mitigate one or more risks associated with racing. If you are racing then you should rely on racing safety equipment. Why would you just rely on a heap of safety equipment that is designed for road use? He was famous because of racing. His vehicle was modified for racing. His main safety equipment, being his tyres, were designed for racing. The activity he often participated in when driving his vehicle was racing. The activity that cost him his life was racing.

[@romeorametse]

Both crashes were identical. The car needed some rigidity modification.. chassis flexed

[@djjorge87]

Bro, what do you think about the rumors that someone threw a pipe in the road? That's why he crashed. A lot of people are saying that I don't know how true it is, but that kind of makes sense. The car was too f****** new to blow

[@Bigboyhp]

Plenty of half mile cars have crashed at over 200+mph. With all safety precautions drivers walk out or live with minor damage. Same with rally drivers... fall off a cliff with a roll cage and they just jiggle around until they stop and get out. Safety is priority when going that fast.

[@DriveDynamicsAz]

Thank you Kern for explaining how a roll cage works alot of people giving there opinion don’t even own a car💀

All this and that about what he should’ve had, is beyond me. You can have all that stuff and still die in an accident. I don’t know if y’all believe in GOD or not, but your book is already written. If it’s your time GOD will call you home. It doesn’t have to be in a car accident. It can be from a heart attack, blood clot, chocking. Getting sick. Many many variables. We do our best with what we know, but looking at the car no way. As Kern mentioned you see the subframe, axles wheels missing etc. car was completely destroyed! Passenger was in the same wreck and survived, wasn’t his time. All I can say is rip 1stockf30 you will be truly missed bro. You inspired many b58 enthusiasts. You’ll forever be the b58 legend in my book.
