That looks a lot like Karl Chicca's car. The Speed Merchant logo kinda gives it away. It was a incredibly nice car. I saw it a couple times at Speed Merchant.

Thats the racing team mentioned at the end of the video. Too bad, it looked like a very nice car

That is very sad,looks like the rear slid out and he tapped the wall on the left then overcorrected into the wall on the right.

Looks and sounded like a sweet car...

There is no wall on the left, just lots of field.

back went into grass.. lost traction, pivoted, went back on track, regained traction but in a bad way..

What a shame..

But I still say that tracking a car is WAY safer than driving with Joe Public on the highways.

nope, only two walls to hit at that track, One just a turn prior to the video starting, and the main straight wall to protect the pit entrance and cars lining up for the next race, which is the one he hit. It did sound like a wall he hit, but that's a rumble strip on the exit of the corner.

Yep, dropping a rear wheel off, especially in a corner, will end one of two ways.

1. Ass puckered and heart rate jump

2. Same as 1 including out of control slide.

Just how I wrecked a 2000 mustang GT with the back left going off the road coming out of a corner, except it snapped back and forth about 3 times, then spun right nearly all the way around backwards. trees. ditch. totaled. lesson learned the hard way.
