That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I started to laugh out loud at work and then had to stop myself so no one would see me watching racing vids at my desk.

That ***** funny. A freind of mine did this in his 500whp+ EVO once, sad thing is it was far from being his first time in the car or at the track, he just forgot it was still in reverse from backing up a couple feet.

I did the same **** before. That's embarrasing as hell. I don't think too many people noticed though. Still felt pretty stupid though.

The first time I went to the track I staged with my back wheels and launched at like 5k and spun down half the track.

OK..now that is ******* hilarious.
