I read on another forum that the "bullrun" still has the evo, they have not given the car back and I guess the drivers are taking it to court.
I mean say what you want about how they blew threw that fence, that concrete slab should have at least been marked in some kind of way. These guys arent pro drivers, anyone of them could have done the same thing and possibly would have if the evo hadnt gone 1st.
Its reality tv, they are going to cut and edit to make it look how they want it to look.

you know what else is dangerous? leaving your house. **** now that I think about it, your house can be pretty dangerous too...
Don't be (or drive like, in this case) an idiot and you'll be fine.

That's a pretty general statement. It's not the engine or the car, for that matter. It's the way most owners of cars w/ that size engine act. Personally, I have never met an EVO owner w/ a RICER mentality, locally. Although, the guys on Bullrun are portrayed as such.

the car was fucked wat before it hit the concrete barrier. the bag deployed after the first dip the thing hit. the concrete barrier just brought the car to and abrupt stop. regardless, if someone tells you 100 times that you need to do this course a certain way and drive through the gate at a certain angle and you want to be gung go to try and shave some time, you deserve whatever happens to you. sucks that it happened but at the same time if they would've listened to them, maybe it wouldnt have happened.

although i do agree... the course should be safe.. what if some one blew a tire or something and just lost control.. anything can happen and having a concrete barrier in that spot is kinda dangerous... honestly even the dip that got them airborne is stupid.. what if that ferrari was doing that challenge? the dip alone woulda caused alotta damage to that car..

And last week, what if they went to bust through the gate, but missed and hit one of the posts that was cemented into the ground? Would it be the show's fault? Fact is, the evo was 'out of bounds' and hit an imovable object because the driver didn't have control of his car. That's the simple fact, the driver was operating his car in a reckless manner. He even said that because of his speed and getting airborn, that he locked on the brakes but couldn't stop.
Lots of what if's surround this type of event, and it's part of the risk you take when entering this event....
Is it the shows fault then that the Dart driver rolled his car?

Exaclty. After seeing last years season, these people needed to know what to bring and what to prepare for. What if in the water skiing challenge, some idiot rode it full bore onto shore and was tossed off, who's fault would it be? What if in the bus challenge they swerved under the bus's tires and crused their car?

if any of you guys decide to go road racing with your F-body and at some point lose control and hit a tree thats "out of bounds" is it the tracks fault?? ofcourse not...you know the risks so its on you to keep the **** under control the entire time. its all moot at this point. he did it...paid the ultimate price and regrets it. time to move on.
tonites episode should be interesting watching them tryin to put the dart back together..lol

When they descibed the course, I figured the camaro was done, especially since they were going against the corvette and solstice. Both of those cars were smaller, lighter (had power steering), anti lock breaks which all played a critical role in such a tight, small course. It was essentially an autocross event which benefits smaller lighter cars.

ya that camaro went through the salams better then any of the cars there, they pushed it further at least... But the driver messed it up, it was a kool car - the wing - the hood scoop.
