Oh man.. I've been to GMR a couple times myself, sorry to see what happened. At least you weren't seriously injured

dang that sucks ):

my tail went loose racing on bald tires on a SLIGHT turn when i first got the car
it was a stupied mistake and i learned a lot from that incident.

but i just hit a "right lane must turn right" pole and went off the road.
yours is a lot worse ):

dont beat yourself up for mistakes you made.
just look forward, glad to see you ok tho. thats the most important

I've seen 1 car(Not s2k) that wasn't totaled after rolling. And that was because it spun on the front nose and landed right side up

Good to see you aren't injured and not searching for excuses.

Going to get another?

Glad you're ok. How long have you had the car? Slow the hell down if you get another. Jesus.

Before someone innocent gets killed, two tracks only two hours away:

Buttonwillow

Streets of Willow

Anyone that wants to ask about bald tires: sorry, you have no idea what you're talking about and should move on. Look at the pics; it's bone dry. You could be on slicks and it wouldn't matter. Unless his tires were so bald he was cording them, the tires were not an issue (even then, it would be risking the integrity of the tire, not the grip). Tread (on a street tire) is for rain, that's it.
