Crash was pretty nasty. I'm surprised he walked away.
Yeah that shit was intense, looked similar to what happened to Richard Hammond in that rocket car, so I'm with whoever said maybe the tire went bad.

Pretty nasty as well. Like Cobra4B said, Someone needs to be thanking someone! Wow, I'm into off-road sports so rolls are second nature but when high speed comes into play..... its never good.

this maybe a dumb question, but i thought the last thing you want to do at 200+mph is slam on the brakes and pull a 'chute (which appears to happen as he crosses the 1mi mark). glad everyone's ok though.

Actually I think he crossed the line @ 240+, then slowed then hit the chute etc. My buddy Chris who was there Friday said he was stopping w/o the chute w/o issue the day before.

Default Lambo Eats it at Texas mile

I can't find the original thread here, but there was a lambo where the driver kept spinning out the end (obviously too much car for him). . . well for those who thought it, guy's luck ran out. . .
