Default Sad Day for a G8

Got to hate it for this guy. Lost control of the G8 on the strip and this is the result.

I was thinking the same thing. Unless he hit oil. Nothing like paying another 4 1/2 years on a totaled car.
Ohio plates. Wonder if he or she is on here.

Someone said he was spraying it and when he hit the N20 it started spinning and he lost it.

If it's stock you gotta wonder, it's not a manual either. Maybe on the 1-2 shift it hit some oil or who knows. Car might not be stock either....sucks.

Oh that might make sense. I was going to say if they lost control of a stock one......


That just sucks either way though.

Nope Blonde headed dude in the Black Shirt was driving. My wife was taking pics of a Red with White stripes Chevelle SS that he was racing and all the sudden there were tires hollering. The G8 hit the wall right in front of her. She got a front row seat of the whole thing. It looked and sounded like he never let off the throttle and it slid across the left lane into the wall. I was at the back of her Av with my trailer hooked to it and I heard the tires and ran around to see him bounce across the track. It made me sick to see it and it was not even my car.

On a side note I did watch him run a 13.2 a couple runs before that one so I would say that he had some work done to it.

I dont know why people dont lift when their car gets out of shape. Yeah it sucks to get that slow time slip but it sucks alot less than crashing your car.
