Ya - it is supposed to be fun, not competitive. The videos clearly show this.

Certainly some suspension/wheel mods on that car. Wonder what the offset of those wheels is?

Also, possibly the lug-nuts weren't torqued and came loose?

ALWAYS check your lug nut torque when tracking your car...

Not according to eyewitnesses:

"The dude decided to stay on the gas and hit the wall 35 feet from the track. He could have hit his brakes and been fine. I saw it happen. "

I agree, he really needs to adjust his camber, that's why he boo-boo'ed his bumper.

about the color of the car: anybody but me just thinks it's a Silver S2000 with the background reflecting on it. I doubt someone would pick that color if they were to repaint their S2000, it's not special enough.


And about drifting being "hella tite yo", I guess it isn't the fastest way around a track, but it does look seem like it's "hella fun yo" and it shows that you have full control of the car if you can do it well.
