Don't know who won, I'll see if I can find someone who knows the ZL1 owner to find out what really happened. Hopefully he doesn't lose his car over this! Ouch.

ZL1-1
911-0

Noob in the Porsche.

Guessing that the Porsche lost control on a LIFT off the throttle(those cars get tail happy when you lift)..especially if making lane changes or on corners.... seeing that ANOTHER car was hit,..the porsche either did what I just mentioned, or it clipped another car. Looks like the ZL1 was decent enough to stop.....when, it probably shoulda kept going.

It takes a rainstorm for a ZL1 to take a win around here. LOL

I don't feel bad for either of them. They were stupid enough to decide to race in the rain, they got what was coming!

Derps. Sounds like it was a cat and mouse chase and not a race if it is true.

I was driving on Sr-18 and saw the whole thing happen. I was on the inside lane and I saw the Porsche coming up behind me at an alarming rate of speed. I was fortunately able to move into the outside lane when just then the Camaro came flying up behind

Porsche as they both passed me. The rate of speed was alarming.. I have never seen that before. They WERE

racing, period. The Porsche
To continue my post, the Porsche started weaving in and out of traffic with the Camaro in pursuit. The next thing I saw was the Porsche almost airborne and then it rolled and

crashed into the median, landing upside down. The driver of the Camaro stopped and got out of his car, evidently not involved in the crash. It was horrible to see this. Many motorists (including myself) pulled off to side of the freeway in the aftermath of witnessing this terrible event. Many brave and concerned motorists, who themselves could have been hit by either one of these stupid jackasses, risked their own safety

by leaving their own cars and crossing SR-18 with oncoming traffic to help the injured Porsche driver...kudos to you folks...you know who you are. To the racing drivers, well I guess you know who you are too.

nobody wins here.


cops everywhere will probably be told about this before their shifts and be instructed to be proactive and bust ***** over stupid **** in order to discourage any future fatalities.
