That's why you avoid the water box on street tire's!!! It never hooked and he never got out of it,tire's were spinning the whole time!

Wow. I wasn't thinking so much a 'rookie' as a 'blundering imbecile' for even doing that without some experience. If he's dragged before, he would've made the run.

Equal torque to both rear wheels, spinning or not, should still equal a controllable straight ahead. I don't see him turn the front wheels. I guess I'm just a little confused Guess he should have left stabiltrac on

Rookie is not the word that comes to my mind. I saw guy do the same thing in a new Mustang GT, he still had 30 day temp tags on the car. I would go with lack of experience as a likely cause.

It appears there was a loss of traction from the start, he should have left competition mode on, it would have prevented that from happening. Very Sad to see that beautiful car smashed like that. A lot of people do not realize that if you wreck at a track it is on your dime. Very Sad! Hope he did not get injured at least, but I bet his wallet is going to hurt for a long time!

Damn, bunch of judgmental people on here. People make mistakes. He wasn't expecting the back end to come around on him like that. Yes, he was spinning the tires and had launched too hard. I almost smacked a Nova 28 years ago when we both took off too hard and slid towards each other. Yes, it was on the street but miles in the country. Of course wouldn't do that again.

Car broke loose after start so water was not a problem or else he would have spun immediately. Did the car that ran before drop fluid on the track the starter didn't see? Let's not bash other Camaro owners here that's what Mustangs are for. BTW I've been drag racing since'68. Had some things happen to me also. Broken axle, fire, dropped a valve, SH*t happens. |
