Bad Driving Pics and Videos Thread - Asshattery, Carnage, Stupidity

Agreed! The safety engineering demonstrated there is nothing short of amazing. I think I heard that they were going upwards of 190mph at that point, and he basically came to a complete stop. Amazing that, 1) the crash fence could even hold a 3600lb. car at that speed, 2) that his car's safety cage held up so well, 3) that he just pops out and walks away, seeming without a scratch.

That video makes me wonder if I really should be looking at installing a taller gear so I can exceed my gear limited 143mph on Daytona last year. I was hoping to go faster this year but wonder how fast a Miata without a cage should go without any aero. At what speed does a stock profile Miata get "light"? My old '68 Pontiac felt 10ft wide and really front end light at 145.

A couple from last weeks track night. This was intermediate. It was obvious 50% of the drivers had never seen a track, they just thought they would be fast.

<br />I am by no means a great driver but I passed close to 20 people in a 20 minute session. There are a lot more videos like that, just no time to edit them.

<br />I'm not sure. I normally do what feels comfortable, never really been coached.
<br />Stoves, I was thinking it for sure. Nobody ever failed to point me by so I wasn't totally pissed.

Drag racing Safety requirements make me sick. the fact he had 2 shoulder harness bolted to that one little tab is astounding.
