Eagle Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Brit video of a race car "off road excursion" at an unnamed race in Colorado. I'm guessing it may be Pike's Peak.

Harley Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Thats gonna leave a mark.....I thought this firebird launch was impressive too! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/7962329/Teenagers-dramatic-airborne-car-crash-caught-on-camera-in-US.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 I saw that one. The kid survived, too, but apparently he's in pretty bad condition. Idjit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yes, it was Pikes Peak, annual race to the clouds event. I didn't feel a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Ouch. I've always wondered how many cars go over the edge during those Pikes Peak races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenobian_84 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I remember seeing the video about the Firebird a while back.. Can't believe that kid actually survived hitting the pillar of the overpass. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Not all that many. Just luck that one got caught on camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Thats gonna leave a mark.....I thought this firebird launch was impressive too! http://www.telegraph...mera-in-US.html That over pass is 1.5 miles from my house and I cross it multiple times weekly. That little dirt bag spent months in the hospital but survived. He had just gotten out of jail after being released following his latest arrest and was driving home at Mach 7 while passing people in the inner break-down lane.when he came past one of our local officers ( whom I also happen to know), apparently crapped himself, and lost control. He is a "poor little rich kid" whose mumzie and daddy had always bought his way out of trouble but this time he about "bought it" on his own...That video link posted will not play for me but if you look closely at this you can see him flying across the road after he was ejected. The car slamming on the brakes on the right almost runs over him. All of his cars from now on will have a wheelchair lift.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
