That wreck was posted on the Corvetteforum... they were doing a high speed canyon run, he hit some gravel/sand in a turn and lost it.

Unless you have alot of track time or are a drifter then I doubt any of you on here have the reflexes/instincts to catch a slide at speed. If you have to think about it it's too late.

Nothing to do w/ too much car or the amount of money you have... simply skills.

They should give people a difficult driving test before being allowed to drive a car like that. Like a "high performance" driving test to weed out all the goofballs that can't handle the powah.

Well the Supercar EMTs blow anyways, but I doubt they were bald.

Those tire will look bald brand new from that far away. They have a very shallow tread depth, plus the grooves are real skinny, so they would look bald no matter what from that far away, plus they are coverd sand.
