Yea i know, ignore the music.

holy shit! i blame the organizers for poor staging area. Who the hell in the right mind would stage cars where there is no protection for them in case of out of control car spinning to the inside after putting 2 off. They are practically 10ft from the hot track surface. That guy luckily heard it coming and got out of the way before it smashed into the G35. Could have been killed. It was the exact spot he was standing. Even though its unsafe to stand around waiting while the track was hot, it most likely saved his life. If he was in the car, he would have been dead.
EDIT: There was a driver in the G35, but he came out okay.

So, whenever you go to track with an organization, make sure you sound off when something appears to be unsafe.

Edit: There was a driver in the G35. :o The guy standing next to it was the NSX driver, whose car is in front of the G35, which was also destroyed.

:lol: I remember that second vid... the music is there because the instructor was fucking pissed that the guy pulled over to video tape his friends crash instead of driving on by like he should have.

It's unbeliveable how close the staging area was to the track.
