    Not to mention the camera mans drink splashed all over him, that's a shame... that Chrysler was a nice car.

    Sadly... there are some f&$king morons in our hobby that make us look bad.

    Hopefully, that errant ZR-1 owner's next car will be a Honda Fit.

    Help

    I guess that ZR1 got away from him. It looks like he was nailing it while his front wheels were turned. Back when the C6Z was introduced the net was flooded with guys that skidded across lawns trying to do donuts in front of homes, or drag racing without keeping the wheels straight. It only makes sense that the ZR1 is a lot more gorilla than most guys can handle.

    Default what insurance?

    If the insurance companies were to find out this accident happened on a race track...there wont be any coverage. If you play, your gonna pay eventually.

    Wonder what the rest of the video shows. I am guessing that the video does not show the beginning of the tape. There is no way the guy with the camera pulled it up and got the camera started just to catch the wreck. Somehow I just don't think this tells all of the story.

    I still see that the Z lost control and wrecked the two cars.
