That video is heartbreaking. The Enzo looks and sounds cool coming around the corner, then you see that it is headed right for the barrier, and splat!

It looks like a guy, maybe a cameraman, is standing right behind the barrier where he hit. He barely flinched!

^^ That's not an update... all of that was reported way earlier this morning.

Also, I love how they make it sound like he was on the actual track. From the video it looks like they just threw up some cones in the parking lot for him to "practice" on. Quality.

Thats actually Irwindale speedway. been there, good for watching drift events and drag racing

986 Girl · 03-27-2007, 10:53 AM

^^ Wait... so he is actually on the real track? Do they typically have concrete barriers and cones up like that? *is confused*

CJ_Boxster · 03-27-2007, 10:58 AM

Yeah, in Irwindales case, yes. They always set up concrete barriers cause they dont have enough land to make a real autocross track. all they have is an oval track that they use for drifting and a 1/8th mile track for honda civics and iroc cameros to race eachother with there pretend standalone fuel management system aka (screensaver on there dash mounted moniter of the fuel input readings from Fast & the Furious 1997 Eclipse)

"but my dream car got destroyed," Sadek said.

IDIOT! He should have the rest of his collection taken away, obviously he made his monet without lack of sense. Let Eddie Griffin drive your Enzo for what reason? A movie? Nope, Nada, no way.
