u can be the best driver and still be involved in a wreck...u can always drive the speed limit, and the one time u go a lil bit over, and u get pulled over....then what?
I will say to this quote you are absolutely correct. You are not immune to anything regardless of driving skills. Too many different driving personalities on public streets to trust what appear to be an open road (been there and done that). Driving fast on local streets is a nasty accident waiting to happen. We all take chances at some point and we move on. I would pass this advice on to any and all "If you think your car is fast, go run it into a pole at over 90mph and it should jar some sense into your brain-housing group". I've had my wake-up call already. So if I could save a life or lives, try and contain the horses in your rides until you get to a private sector or track. When I wrecked my car racing a Ferarri on what appeared to be an open highway, I too also thought I was an excellent driver. Guys, take it easy on the streets, please.............

After looking at the final report it was estimated between 80 and 90mph and that's after sliding 53yards on paved highway and another 59 across the grass and into the pole. Nasty headache to accomodate this as well. Not to mention the damage done to the car! Just wasn't time for me to die, that all.

B12's never came with air bags and no drama from the trooper at the scene. I had witnesses that saw the car cut across the highway. They only saw the Ferarri swing left to avoid the car and saw me after I had flew off the highway. No tickets, no dramas.

and how exactly did they determine you were going that fast?
I would be asking waaaaay too many questions seeing that it didn't take a rocket scientist to see that I was moving faster than 55mph which was the posted speed limit.
did the ferrari keep on going or did he at least have balls to stop?
Yes he did and for good reason. He was getting his [email protected] handed to him and hell he probably was a dope-dealer or something. I'm glad he didn't stop! We were racing and the people in the rear easily identified his car. I was in front of him with a sentra; he has a Ferarri. Who do you think will stand-out?

If you want to know how fast I think I was going, better than triple the 55mph speed limit + a little bit more. Not fun losing control at that type of speed.

last years winner in the unlimited class topped out at 240 with average speed of 190
This race sounds like a bunch of fun, but it would be hard to sustain that type of speed (at least for me). I would fare better in a 150ish class or as much as 170ish. Thanks for the info:) What the prizes look like? And when and where exactly is such an even held?
