Must have been running the stock tires.

Snow on the ground so it is cold, no traction.

Those that are running stockers in anything less than 40 degrees Farenheit are asking for trouble.

Ouch... The driver should learn to shift before taking it on the track.

jesus christ - I am usually not disgusted with most things but hearing him do THAT to his gearbox made me cringe several times. Even if he didnt wreck his car his transmission would have no teeth on the gears if he keeps up like that.

Like others have said - the way he was taking those corners I hope he likes bent rims and a fucked suspension and alignment. It doensnt look like he knows what he's doing (even before he crashes) You see glass flying in the last few frames - poor guy maybe next time he won't be so cocky on the track.

Yeah, i agree with the above, it was only a matter of time he wiped out looking at how the corners were taken... but still a shame

Let's see... jumping evry curb on the corners, and going completely off track.

Some people have more money than brains...

Textbook lesson on how not to race, drive and shift. Better he crashed on the track instead of into some innocent driver on the road.

Even though he was cornering like a friggin moron, I think what actually caused the car to spin out that bad was the tires riding over the snow that was all over that last curb when he drove off the track for the 40th time. He clearly was running stock tires instead of winter tires. I really don't know why he kept driving off the track so many times. Was he high? Probably never would have crashed if he took the corners properly and stayed inside of the lines. Oh well. I wonder if the car is totalled.

By the way, the "curse of the silver" rule doesn't apply to this case. He would have crashed in any color.

it looked like he had a straight side impact, i might be wrong. If he hit on the side more surface area for the impact = more distributed area for energy to be absorbed in = less of a *chance* of being totaled. I've never been to a racetrack like that but looks like the walls were made of tires? or something soft?

If he hit on an exact corner of the car that could complete **** the suspesion and maybe the frame - who knows. The kid got what was coming to him though, when you **** around like that and dont know what your doing and or showing off... meh I'm sure he learned his lesson.

He sure drove like he was drunk. Couldn't stay on the black top if it was 3 miles wide and that shifting--pure torture. I smiled at the end.

I can't believe that guy is allowed to run solo. Usually you have to work up to that.

Look at one of the videos that links off that page:

I have no idea why, but I find this hilarious. I just have this image in my mind that their all going around in circles chasing each other for no reason.
