he was doin low 5's in the 1/8 (he didnt run 1/4). " When he spun around there didn't appear to be any scratches at all." He never touched the wall. Just the styrofoam block in the middle that had a camera in it.

Dayum....the other guy probably broke out but it doesn't matter since he was DQ'd for going over the center line.

Killer vid.
