Default Copo Camaro Wheelstands into Wall


Thankfully, this didn't end horribly. I would hate to see a wrecked Copo. It's not often that you get to say "that'll buff out" unironically, but this is one of those times.

that would suck, what makes it even worse is it's in front of one of the the biggest event of the year crowd wise. We wasn't lined up in the grove to start with.

Tough to steer with your front wheels in the air ...

What an idiot. Any decent driver would have realized he was heading toward the wall and lifted earlier.

your ignorance is showing...might want to put that away...


1: when you go wheels up, you cant see the direction you are heading

2: even if you can see it, you cant control it if your front wheels are off the ground

3:if you let off, it doesnt always just come right back down....and sometimes when it comes back down it comes down very violently and does a lot of damage to your car

4: when it comes back down...theres a good chance its going to bounce a bit...like his did...so once again, you cant steer because your wheels leave the ground again

5: if you steer hard while up in the air, when it hits the ground, you may shoot wildly out of control, potentially loosing complete control and destroying your car when you go straight across the track into the other wall head on.
small corrections go a long way with a racecar

6: when he came down, he had no time to correct....he was still bouncing.

1- he still has a side window. Anyone with seat time and experience in lifting the front could tell where the car is at.

2- Really genius? Was that even worth typing?

3- He did let off, way too late tho. The throttle isn't an on/off switch. He could have lifted a little. Either way it would have been a lot less damage than what he got from not doing so.

4- Yea, and if the tires were turned a little, like his weren't it would have helped steer the car.

5- Who said about steering hard? Steering wheel isn't an on/off switch either.

6- You must have seen a different video. He didn't even attempt to correct. pathetic...

If you guys are saying this was unavoidable, your stupidity is showing. You might want to work on that...
