Default video of my wreck

I was searching on my computer today and found a video from last year of my wreck. This is the reason to keep it on the track. The car had a few mods but was on all-season tires the day of the crash.

heres a couple pics from the video




My autocross "training" saved me from that sign, pole, and kept me calm

I'm not one to be the grammar or spelling police, but I believe you're looking for the word wreck. Just saying.

Good reason to keep it on the track though.

Looks like you were just cruising when you lost traction. Must have been some bad tires.

not trying to be a dick but i think you need a little more practice. It just looks like you got lucky it wasn't worst. You still lost control, spun all the way around, and ended up in the bushes. You can see a branch right behind you at the end. Glad to see you and nobody else got hurt, but don't brag about autocross training when you have a video of yourself crashing a car. A good driver would have corrected the car and came out in the right direction.

LOL! Yeah, that's what the Stig would have done. :facepalm:

That road looked pretty narrow...and it looked like a neighborhood. That was probably the best place to take a camera to show off your auto cross skillz.

I posted the vid to share how un-safe back road driving is, not to bragg. The autocross line was more or a joke then anything.

heres the slow mo

the all-season were very crappy and I shouldn't of been driving like that on these tires. The video was 14 mins long but I cut out the rest of it. This part was on my way back. If you want you can check out my other autocross videos on that site.
