OUCH, I seen this go down, poor car
two weekends ago I was down at Thunderhill and I seen this happen right in front of me on the track.
It was an older guy about 75. He said he just got the car back froma shop that just put about $12,000 of work in to it.
The funny thing is this guy had a smile on his face the whole time,and said his wife will just let him buy a new one.

Ya, he was a rookie driver.He was going through turn 8 which is a long curve with a little kink in the middle of it,and that little kink gets all the rookies.If you know how to drive the course you can take the corner at about 100mph.But alot of the rookies hit the brakes and it upsets the rearend of the car and you slide head first right in to a wall next the the flag stand.

If it gets ALL the rookies...you'd think they would make the track a little safer before someone gets killed.
