Default Did the lambo wreck???

Ive heard all about a Lambo going end over end in Goliad. Did it really happen?? I cant believe no one has a video or pictures to support it. Did the driver really walk away??

This really bums me out, I have to work all damn weekend or I would be there as usuall. I cant imagine something as epic as a flying bull at the mile not having some sort of video coverage. I cant see pics at work either

The Lambo just completed a 235 mph run, and when he popped the parachute the rear end of the car got airborne, aimed him at the dirt. The car went end over end several times, huge cloud of dirt in the air. Pretty scary stuff, and that he could survive something like that. Nobody was allowed to get close to take pics, but the track photog was able to. Pics to be posted later, I'm sure. The 10-pt rollcage in that car saved his life, the rest of the car was toast.

I've never seen anything like that. It reminded me of when those speed boats flip over backward and go airborne. Crazy stuff. It's amazing he survived without injury.

I saw it from the starting line. It looked brutal. The car caught some serious air and parts and dirt were flying everywhere. I'm glad he made it out ok.
