A guy was racing his G8 and it spun out then hit the wall at the track. It looks like it's totaled to me.

Yeah drap racing is when it looks like you might hit the wall but you really don't, lol! Here's some pics of the car after it hit the wall.

how is he a moron? there so many things that are beyond your control when youre at the track and something like this could happen to any one of us. every time i race i pray that i dont hit a slick spot and lose it...all that time and money, gone in seconds.

No way. Insurance is basically nonexistent at the drag strip. They don't cover NOTHIN if you was racin.

Insurance won't cover it for drag race since it is not on street. That's suck for him or her either. I see plate that they are from Ohio.

Well, I do not trust nitrous. That's what's likely to get you killed IMO, when you spray the added torque can send you flying into the wall. No thank you. I'll take Turbo for 400 please...
