    luckily he had insurnace on it!

    This is due to the radial tire.....look at any of the really fast cars....they all eventually crash because the radial gives you no indication of tire spin, coupled with a spool its like a bull dozer....feels like someone pulled the right lever harder than the left and it just turns.

    The only reason that car made a move was cuz he was way out of the groove over in the shit on the middle of the track and to top it off looks to be right when it was ramping in all it had, would have happen to a slick car too most likely. He was way sideways before the front tire even turns to correct, a lil slow on the correction to boot.


    I think where most of you have your problems with all of this, is the fact that you really don't fully understand the internal workings and dynamics of the common combustion engine. There is no magic tune up, and motors are stupid. The only time a motor will complain is when something is wrong.

    That really does suck. These guys are crashing because they keep pushing the limits of the tire. These tires can't take all that power, coupled with him being out of the groove.

    Hope he was ok.
