At least the bloke on the second clip offers to help unlike the first lot who are just laughing like idiots.

wow, you boys have some ball's not backing off for a jump like that. Had you done a lap of the track to make notes?

he backed off, thats proabably the main reason it did end for end, no offense to the driver as its not hard to do, the track isnt actually a circuit, its 230km odd down and then next down to come back again, one lap each way :)

All the main cage is fine but can't say the same of the front left suspension arms which were almost torn off. The wheel bent around and hit the side of the car.

Pre ran the track about 6 weeks out from race day but the track changed a fair bit in that time Don't really take notes anyhow as the track is full noise for 235km and can hardly see the road in front of you as your eyeballs are shaking so much let alone read any notes.

Awesome fun though and the noise at full revs from the LS1 coming out of the short exhausts is pretty wild. Forget Viagra!

Yeah that didn't help and also it bottomed out on the floor pan which made it worse, you can see the trail of dirt from it if you slow it down
