I can't for the life of me see why there are so many videos of wrecks like this when one guy takes out the other. If you see the dude beside you lose control and go sideways get out of the gas! Hope the "win" was worth it... The guy to the right had every oppertunity to correct it also but from the looks of it he counter steered the wrong way lol

I seen this, Guy over on our GTO forum was the first officer on scene, He said the driver in the C6 was a 23yr old kid and the guy in the C5 was claiming to make 600whp lol... Anyways the guy who was video taping just happend to be behind them... I guess they were both going to be arrested but I guess the 23yr olds mother was screaming for him to go to the Hospital so the let the C5 go since they sent the other to the Hospital... He said they both have warrants for their arrests now... Guy in the C5 said he lost it cause he dumped his clutch??? IDK...

Had a similar thing like that on the GTO forum were a guy got on it after a car show and hit some random car that was driving along, Dude in the Goat took the **** off and it was all on vid... Mods on LS1GTO were deleting any thread that posted up the vid lol... Probably a *** buddy...

It was on corvetteforum, but they dont allow talks of street racing over there. They have locked the threads multiple times.
All I can say is dumbasses. I was jacking with a bike the other day and jumped sideways like that when I hit 2nd gear, but I just feathered it, corrected, and kept it in my lane. There are so many fail drivers out there that don't have any throttle control, and just slam the brakes. If you get in trouble, DON'T SLAM THE BRAKES! If your that bad or conditions aren't prime leave TC on. That's what it is there for. Once you start getting above 300hp it's not always full throttle. Anyway that's my rant.
