I hope that was not his daily driver !! usually when I go to the track with my bike I never take my "street" riding bike you eventually go downthe damage is significant . Beat on the old bike with the race plastics instead !!

Whoa~! What a terrible day for the driver and car........just a little reminder that 500 ponies in one stable can sure be a lot to handle...even for someone used to racing at the track. Glad to see he was ok.......as bad as the car looked afterwards he could have been a lot harder to repair!
Things like this always make me think twice before being a show-off and trying to impress someone with my car. It only takes a second!

If I'm not mistaken, isn't that the same guywho had that obnoxious passenger(who wouldn't shut up)? That little hand wave as he passed slower cars reminds me of them.
Seems the driver wasn't very familiar with the track, he came in too hot for that short, tight right hander on a decline, what a shame..........................

Don't know if it was the same guy. I think it's a different track.
The hand gestures are required. The guy in front gestures to let you know he is letting you pass. I guess you have to wave back... kinda seems like a bad move, when you should have both hands on the wheel.

pretty sure that was one of the auto teachers at my school...because i know he had a red and white shelby and i know he flipped it at the track and i know he was thinking about swapping the drivetrain into his 65...anyone know the guy's name...that would be crazy
