They were actually using it as a legit drag car, the wheelie thing was the spectacle but.
That said, the old guy was unlucky as you can see that he hit some undulations on the track when trying to pull this thing up and the weight of the engine in the back just made those tires bounce like tennis balls so he couldn't pull it up and had to turn or hit the barrier. Poor guy, so easy to make one mistake that leads to another and so on etc..
