Road Atlanta Viper crash

Video from inside a Porsche, driver of which should probably spend more time concentrating on speed instead of taunting fallen brethren.
Courtesy Car and Driver

(not that my speed behind the wheel is anything that Patrick Long needs to worry about )

Apparently, this is a bit of a vintage youtube video.

If you saw it in 'ought-six when it was new, well, nothing to see here.

I think the guys reaction to the wreck was shocking, must be more to it than what you see.

No kidding. I wonder the backstory?

Now how about this? This is a relatively straight piece of track.

Wow.

That's a hell of a surprise ending.

Hell yes that will get your attention. That right there is why I'm no longer interested in casual track days.

The money (and life) you save could be your own, eh?

Well, money has had an effect on the activity, but there has been at least one loony on track each time I have been. I just don't need the problems.

Don't need the car anymore either, but that's another story.

On the second video, I'd be willing to bet that crease in his seat bottom is still there. What a serious pucker moment.
