    I'm sorry - I probably shouldn't have laughed as soon as that happened, but I laughed not because of the car but because of the driver.  First of all, even in my newbness state of competitive driving, I know that street tires do not benefit from a "warm-up burnout."  Secondly, DUE to my newbness state of competitive driving, I doubt I will EVER take my Viper to a drag-strip because I KNOW that I'd be prone to doing the same #&@% thing...  :)

    But it DOES kinda have an "America's Funniest Home Videos" format to it, doesn't it?!  Just that, "awesome" to "oooooohhh" in less than 2 seconds, like a guy taking a baseball to the nards...

    I think there was a similar Ferrari incident.Drivers just floor it,spinning the tires at redline and don`t have enough sense to let off.

    It's a good reminder to all the weekend warriors, no matter what brand or type of car you drive, that accidents and f-ups do happen.

    He's going to have to tell the insurance company a good story if he goes through insurance. 

    I'm sure he isn't going to tell them it happened when he was warming up his tires at the drag strip.  :faint:

    Besides being there and from you experienced racers, what did the driver do or not do that caused the accident? It seemed so sudden I cannot see what went wrong.

    When your tires are spinning that fast it`s like your on ice and the rear will kick around fast.You need to let off the gas instead of keeping your foot planted to the floor and redlining the engine-simple as that.
