its like he just ran into the wall......Fail

FC_EDDIE 07-15-09 11:50 AM
LOL you guys are funny! Actually the car is ok...kinda.

The cage held up amazingly and the only REAL damage was to the door (obviously) and the cooling system. the VMIC set-up was destroyed. Otherwise, the car drives straight and the chassis and suspension is fine. Time for new fenders and paint, after we use a jack to lift the A pillar with the roof. It was fun to watch.


He's ok BTW. :icon_tup:

He was attempting to drift but he lost traction in the front and understeered right into the tires. usually most cars would've just bounced back with minor damages but one of the tires got caught under his car and when he tapped the wall, well.... you know LOL

Did this happen on friday? Because I was there for the saturday event and I don't remeber a car rolling

Props to that guy for the thumbs up, at least he wasn't crying about it in front of everyone.

And as required.... that'll buff right out.

Black Hearts 07-15-09 03:13 PM

Impossible. That will always be known as THE RX-7 video.

Basically he came in too fast, locked up the front wheels losing all control of them, gave it gas to try to correct but all in vain.

To most it looks like he drove straight into the wall but to someone who knows the consequences of locking front breaks and understeer will know that this is exactly what'll happen
