#8 is cool because you have to commit to #8 turn-in before the crest, so you can't see it, its all feel. However, that corner scares the **** out of me too because I'm not getting airborn at like 85mph off the crest and hopefully setting the car down square another 20' later. Its horrific at speed, but it makes the testosterone.
Oh, and notice the roll bar poking through the bottom of the inverted car.

Very sad. You know it happens at the track...and that there's the risk...but it hurts to see.
I actually stopped watching racing for a few years as a kid after Senna died. Hit me kinda hard at 12.
I hope this guy and his passenger made it. He should have been listening to the instructor.

The first few times you go through there, it really is tough to commit, but after you see stuff like this its much easier to leave the pedal on teh firewall.

Damn, that's scary how the bolt in cage failed.
According to this link, the driver and passenger were both ok.

That track has been hit with "emininent domian" or whatever 3-times according to the current owners for development because its right-next to a major highway. According to the Connie who runs the track, the environmental fees to remove the 3,000,000+ tires is too much so that track will basically go nowhere. You've never seen more tires in your life. They have tires 2-deep at the least, all around the track, on both sides.
