This past weekend at Lights Out 16, the Street Outlaws world witnessed some jaw-dropping action as both Murder Nova and Daddy Dave went airborne in their respective races. These two seasoned drivers put on an unforgettable show, proving once again why they are some of the best in the business.

Murder Nova’s Wild Wheelie in Pro 275
If you’ve been keeping up with the buzz, you’ve probably seen the video of Murder Nova taking flight during Q3 of Pro 275. Shawn Ellington launched hard, and before he knew it, the front wheels were up, sending the car soaring into the air. Thankfully, his skill behind the wheel prevented disaster. In our opinion, Shawn is one of the best drivers out there, and he showcased that yet again with his quick reflexes and control.
The good news? The car wasn’t significantly damaged, and the Murder Nova was ready to roll for eliminations the next day. By the time you read this, he may have already made another pass, but no matter what, we’re rooting for him to go rounds and take it all the way.

Daddy Dave’s Airborne Moment in No Time 275
As if one airborne Street Outlaws car wasn’t enough for the weekend, Daddy Dave also had a massive power wheelie in No Time 275. Just as he launched, the front end shot up, and within seconds, his car was completely airborne. A spectacular sight, but definitely not what you want to happen on a pass!
The world of radial racing is no stranger to these kinds of wild rides. Back in 2016, Stevie Fast Jackson took flight in the original Shadow, and we’ve seen similar moments from Dwayne Mills, Tim Slavens, and others. When you’re dealing with this much horsepower and no wheelie bars, things can get unpredictable in a hurry.

Fortunately, Daddy Dave’s car didn’t suffer any major damage, and more importantly, he walked away unharmed. While he’s now out of No Time 275 competition, it’s always great to see racers come out unscathed from these intense moments.
The Competition Heats Up
Elsewhere at Lights Out 16, Justin Schraub advanced in competition, and Travis Harvey, who was driving Pup, was also making moves. As for the rest of the Outlaw racers, the competition was stacked with fast and capable teams. The battle was fierce, and we’re wishing all the competitors the best as they chase the win.
At Street Outlaws Talks, we love seeing high-stakes racing and incredible moments like these. We’re just glad both Murder Nova and Daddy Dave came out of their wild rides without major issues. Stay tuned for more updates, race recaps, and everything Street Outlaws right here!
