Don't know the inside of an R8 and the antique dash layout had me thinking I should be watching the car in front. Until it turned into a Viper (or was it a Vette?) and the scenery started moving.

I had a friend with a Talon TSI that ran high 10's. He let me drive it once at a test & tune night at a dragstrip. When I launched the car, it was honestly like the chassis was trying to eject itself from underneath the bodywork. It shocked me so bad that I rode the rev limiter for about a half a second or so in 1st gear and ran a mid 12 in a 10 second car.

I'd like to see hour and a half videos on youtube :q:

Near the beginning its funny when they try to stand on the road and warn the next driver of the crash, but the driver just thinks its some crazy spectators being suicidal and goes past narrowly missing the crash.

Just before 29 minutes, those guys shorts are killing me.

At 33:30 is that a pedestrian being thrown from under the car?

Got about 45 minutes in. Good stuff!

Massive Brake failure, guy walked away with just a bump on his head.

Look at the upper left of the video, the red bar is his brake pedal percentage, you can see him pumping his brakes and trying to countersteer.

Here is what he posted about the crash:

quote:

Hey all, here are the pics of my crash at mid-o this wknd. Data said I was going about 95mph when I went off the back straight before 7. Some kind of brake failure. Had brakes for a split second then nothing. Slowed from 130 down to 95. Someone said I flipped about 9 times. Cartwheeled over the gravel trap and catapulted over the tire barrier and then over/through a 18 foot fence and ended up in the spectator area. Officials said they have never seen a car go that far out or seen a crash like that at mid-ohio. I’m completely fine though, just a small bump on head. Can't say the same about the Z. Thanks to everyone out there that helped me out especially cat killer, ralphy and ed.

Yes, i had a hans on. That's what probably gave me the bruise on my forehead. Hans stopped my helmet but my head smashed into the inside of my helmet. I had a racetech seat with wings and head bolsters. Did not have a net on the right. Had a 5 point harness (2 groin belts combine into one buckle). Car never really had a hard impact. Just kept on doing cartwheels over a long distance dissipating the energy. Looking at the in car video looks like instinct took over and i tried turning at the end of the straight so i started flipping almost before i left the concrete. Should of gone off straight into china beach and hopefully had the gravel slow me down b/f hitting tire wall. Thing that bothers me the most is not knowing what happened to the brakes. Childs is conducting a csi investigation. My data showed a 1.2 G slowdown at the 400 mark just like always but only for a split second. Pedal felt good. Then my G's gradually dropped to 0. I remember lifting and pushing in the pedal again and the data showed my G's came back up to .7 then quickly dropped back down to 0 before i turned the car and flipped. I don't ever remember the pedal just hitting the floor. Brake fluid reservoir was still filled after the crash. Looking at the in car video, the car really shimmied at initial braking, almost looking like the rear brakes were working but not the front. Only evidence we have so far is on the front left wheel, the rotor had a weird discoloration and was completely scoured and gouged as if the caliper was stuck. I don't see how this happend though b/f the crash though b/c the car was pretty dead on straight, not drifting to the left as you would expect so maybe it somehow got scoured after the crash. Car does have ABS but I don't think it ever activated. Braking was totally fine going down the keyhole just prior.
