Finishing backwards reminds me of a Qld guy who put a strong Clevo into his RMC Cobra. Genuine 600+ horsepower. First time at the drags, he had a few aborted runs due to a lack of traction. Last run, he tried to get a full pass in. At 1000ft, the car snapped sideways and he jumped on the brakes. Slid sideways, and ended up going backwards through the finish line:

11.1 seconds at 126mph with the tyres locked up and smoking, and the car travelling backwards....
