spray = nitrous..

Wow that sucks...I wonder what size shot and how it was setup? Regardless, nitrous and street tires don't generally mix...especially if they are AS tires...

This vid is making the rounds on all the forums. Not sure what he had, but he looks to be only going like 35 when he loses it so maybe traction and noX is the reason.

If he had gotten off the pedal instead of staying in it he might have saved it. I say that because the tires were still spinning when he hit the wall. He was probably just panicked coupled with lack of experience.

That is an expensive lesson to learn. I bet that car is totaled and I'm betting his ins company will fight that claim and win.

That sucks. Seems like DR's should be mandatory for 400+rwhp/trq.

OUCH !!!

That's really going to leave a mark on the bank account, as I'm sure the insurance won't even touch it now. It is a shame though...

Yep, looked like serious lack of experience on that one. I read somewhere that he was running a 150 shot. Friggin painful to watch.
