Crazy Finns
 
:wow: That's gonna ruin your weekend...


GregWeld 11-13-2009 10:05 AM

Okay! That is just a hoot!!

Sent it to Alex -- said this is why you don't race on the street! These guys have cages - fuel cells - helmets... and look at the violence....:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

rjsjea 11-13-2009 10:06 AM

Better hope you cage is up to snuff......

Never understood why you need to stand so close the road on corners.
It's an easy way to ruin your weekend

70rs 11-13-2009 11:01 AM

Now there is some ten ticket rides huh?

And I agree on the crowds, those races have been going on for decades now and the people still have to be idiots and stand directly in the line of fire. WTF?:drive:

I guess it goes to show you really can race anything. A few of those were really neat cars, old BMW 2002s and Cortinas. Too bad they are munched.

One foot to the left and you're the hot shoe who pulled it off...

One foot to the right though... ouch

chr2002ca 11-13-2009 12:03 PM

Reminds me a lot of my first year of driving. :lol:

Great video clip! Thanks for posting.

Novelli 11-13-2009 01:06 PM

Damn woman drivers!

alvin3a 11-13-2009 01:35 PM

Like being in a blender :)

z4me69 11-13-2009 01:49 PM

groovyjay 11-13-2009 05:02 PM

Yup, that's how we do it. :thumbsup:

Stuart Adams 11-13-2009 05:10 PM

Reminds me of my Thursday night cab ride at sema last week!!

DFRESH 11-13-2009 05:45 PM

I'm pretty sure I figured how to say "Oh XXXX" in Finn after watching that. Really good stuff.

Those are some strong trees!!

Kinda funny how many times they end up back on the tires.........

G-Body 11-13-2009 08:42 PM

Notice the theme to most of the wrecks alot in the same turns! crazzzzzzzy:lol:

WILWAXU 11-14-2009 12:22 AM

Great stuff!

A few of those had to hurt. Sudden stops aren't ever good.

Bowtieracing 11-14-2009 12:44 AM

No pain no gain.Thats how they learn. 99% are totally harmfull hits.

No wonder how we Finns have so many WRC and F1 wins :yes:

elitecustombody 11-14-2009 09:11 AM

it almost looks like they crash on purpose,kinda like the guy crashing the Bugatti Veyron in a lake few days ago

Not really, driving on gravel the edge is very thin. Just drive a tiny bit to hard and you're lost. It takes a lot of driving skill to master it and everyone who can master it has done more than his/her share of crashes.

I must say I liked the spirit of the guy loosing his right front wheel and tried to keep going.:lol:

And remember sometimes those crashes are fatal, coming at 70 to 90 mph and going off hitting a tree does hurt you bad.

I agree. :thumbsup:

clill 11-16-2009 07:55 AM

What gets me is all the people cheering as they watch someone flip his car 6 times. It looked like there was one crash where the driver looks unconscious and the guy runs up and takes a picture. Remind me to never take up Rally driving.

zbugger 11-16-2009 07:14 PM

Awesome how some guy flips his car a few times and some jackass runs up to the car clapping giving him the thumbs up for crashing. Like the guy can't tell he screwed something up. Oh, and in one clip is it just me or does it look like a guy landed on his head, followed by the car at one point?

h_leadfoot 11-19-2009 09:31 AM

Those who only spins ones ore twice looks quite lame... :theresa: :D

Iamtheonlyreal1 11-19-2009 11:37 AM

It appears that they may score point on with the crashes... ha ha.. You can hear the celebration and congratulations after the crash...ha ha... Hell one point a guy gives the driver a thumbs up through the windshield of his upside down car... What a hoot..

Crap that is insane that are pretty crazy in europe. I think we should do a equivalent rally race with old fullsize cars.

I agree. Maybe a class with old Bonevilles, Caddys and Caprices? Full cages, seats, harness, co pilot and everything. I think it would be a blast to take my grandmothers old '64 Belevedere at 70+mph down a logging road. Those cars just mow down the trees. No whimpy 8" cedar tree is going to stop that hunk of steel!:rofl:

Years ago a buddy and I used to do this kind of thing up around Sweethome. You and I have talked about those areas. Green Peter Res. I had an old beater Toyota Corolla wagon that died a miserable death up there.:rofl:
While drifting at about 45mph around a long sweeping corner I hit a pot hole and caught the outside wheel. That threw me off course and guilded me on two wheels into the ditch on the inside of the corner. Thank god, because the outside of that same corner was a 100 foot straight drop.
That pot hole broke the rear end. We pushed the car off the cliff.:rofl:

awr68 11-22-2009 06:56 PM

Good times!!

I was thinking up near Lost Lake in the Tillamook burn.....

T_Raven 11-23-2009 01:49 AM

I guess all you gotta do to win is drive the slowest and be the only one that finishes eh?
