Lightbulb What not to do at the track kind of video.

This video gives a whole new meaning to "off line"

"Stupid fast" comes to mind, but i'm not sure there was much of the latter.

Here's the clip:

And here's the camera car:

They might as well be racing lawnmowers with all the time they spend in the grass.

It hurt to watch. That kind of driving is why we charge $5 per tire for each off. People tend to use a bit more control when their wallet involved. It cuts down on sweeping delays, too.

no ****. It looked like it was the guys first time to drive a sick. Those people were out of control. I think I saw the driver running laps in the bumpercar ring at six flags earlier that day.

Wish I could right click and save the video.

But what I could view...WTF was going on there? Passing on the right, getting back on the track without some sort of approval, no racing lines what so ever!!! Ugghh!

Damn....these guys need to get some practice on Gran Turismo and learn how to link thier turns! (I know, its just a video game)

And what's with the guy chirpin his tires at the last turn before the straightaway? **** poor driving.
