A noble death on the track is one thing. That looks like someone borrowed dad's car and tried to show off for the buds.

That does not look real. The Fire fighter rescue guy looks like Craig Sanford from Advanced Fire and Rescue. They do movie, video and Racing support....THey are at our races all the time.

I could be wrong.....but is definately him.

Even if it's a set, that suspension doesn't look happy. Either way, it's a disturbing photo and thought.

I grew up down the street from the Indian Creek Golf Course in Carrollton. It is right off of Frankford on the way to I35. I have never seen a Lambo in that area before, but I was there over 8 years ago. I will ask my parents if they saw anything in the paper.

Looks real enough to me. I imagine speed racer late apexed a high speed right hand turn, tracked out and hit the curb with his left rear tire, popped pretty high in the air and landed where he rests now.

Dad is probably going to cut his allowance for a few weeks.

Smiling, hands in pockets, the vests......lazy gov't employees or movie set. I Googled all possible combos and came up with zip.

Until Garner2002 tells us more all we can do is guess.

I don't think that is a movie set, that is exactly what that intersection looks like. The police in that area where those vests everywhere, by brother was in the police explorers program in Carrollton and had to wear that all day.

If it is real, it will probably be headed to Lamborghini of Dallas or maybe Stewarts Autobody.

I did see a yellow Diablo VT go into the trees off the back side of the track in Seattle this year, it was a bit of a mess, plus we lost a session while they dug it out! Driver was unhurt.

I may be running the risk of unintentionally hi-jacking this thread; if so, I apologise in advance. But for those of you so inclined and possessing a strong constitution - have a look at this website.

I just called Indian Creek.

It happened at around 4:30 yesterday afternoon.

The word around the course was that a Ferrari crashed into their front sign, which is made of granite.

Is this real enough for you? Daddy buys him the cars, he rents them out for $5K a weekend. One of his customers planted this one a week ago.
