Presumably this is the wreck being discussed on the Speedvision World Challenge board:

the owner of the viper is going to have a big headache trying to win a lawsuit against the brake manufacture.
its going to be a long and hard to prove court battle.

When shit happens, people usually try to blame it on everyone else other than themselves ... Yet another statement from facts of life, by T KazuMori.

Damn, it looks like he didn't even try to stop. Looking at the other board's discussion, it looks like he's trying to blame it on brake failure. It looks more to me like he just blew the turn.

Turn off the ignition, turn off the ignition ... I love his freaked out passenger.
