today i ran the 360 sprint car for the first time. i have been racing since i was 8, started in go-kart, worked my way up to 600cc micro sprint w/ a gsxr motor... about 150hp and 750 lbs... and today was the big day. i'm running with the big boys. 750 horsepower, 1500lbs.... and i was easily able to pace the fast guys my first time out, ever, in this car. until the second to last lap of the practice session.

i went into turn 1 at about 120, pitched it sideways.... and it hit a rut, which lifted the nose... and put me down STRAIGHT, which in the turn, means going straight into the wall.... so i threw it back to the left as fast and hard as i could, and it 1/2 spun, and now i was backing into the wall at like 90mph... I STOOD ON THE THROTTLE.... 750 horses throwing dirt into the stands...... and missed the wall with the rear bumper but about an inch, and it looped around and just put the left front into the wall as it spun.... but it only blew the tire, (because of a bolt sticking out of the guardrail) didn't bend or scratch a god damn thing





heres the video, but please don't share this with anyone, only use ot for yourself. thank you very much.

thank you eric happy meal! lol i couldn't make it work.

 

seen worse, cool cars tho

 

yeah i know, i've been in a lot worse, rolled the 600 7 times @ 130, but the good part about that one is the SAVE, not the wreck. (of which there was very little)

 

My moms boyfriend used to race those things. Theyre pretty god damn fast. Love watching them. Way cool

 

Neat!
