Why are there so few Corvettes at these events? It seems like they would be a good car for it, the Vipers do well with much more drag than the Corvette has.
The UGR guy that wrecked needs to have someone else drive his car! Err...should have had someone else drive it. With how many times he has spun out I can't believe they still let him run.

However UGR had 2 orange gallardos at the mile and the guy you are referring to that spun out multiple times more than knows what he is doing. He owns I believe 2 or 3 UGR lambos, this being his newest one. That car put down almost 1800whp. The reason for the spinouts was that the car simply lit the tires up instantly at full throttle. From the vids it doesnt look bad but in one of them he was already going 130mph when he spun out. That car with the right conditions and a solid run will take the mile record for sure within the next year now that the monster Super G is no longer with us.
Heres the car...

As far as the UGR car that wrecked and totaled his ****, I agree he def should have taken different aproaches to stopping the car along with the chute. Or have someone else drive the car....but then again doesnt really matter now. Sad too, that car put down 1938whp just before the mile, everyone thought it'd be the first to break 2k.

Spun out after his 249 and 250 runs when he was shutting down. Not sure why he was still driving it as he was clearly having problems with his own damn self.

I wasn't talking about the guy that spun out at this event, I was talking about the guy that crashed at this event and was spinning at the last one-

Ahhh gotcha got confused when you said spin since Jonah spun his orange G every run this year i believe.
I def agree with you..the guy who owns that orange SL actually took delivery and drove it for the very first time at last years mile, the one he spun out at as you said. In my opinion that isn't the smartest thing in the world for the first time in the car to go out and try and break the mile record with no expierence. Guess he finally payed for it this year, very glad he was ok and shows the amazing craftsmanship of UGR not only making insane power lambos but safe as well. Sad to see such an amazing machine destroyed
