I have to admit I laughed when I saw the look on her face...its not even like "OMFG I just destroyed a majorly balling Corvette" Its more like "Im going to send whoever was driving , (and his nut sack ahead of him) to hell in a flaming, bloody handbasket"

Sad to see a brother fall though eh?

The way she's dressed, maybe the car hit a patch of ice and spun out Either way, you've got to feel for the owner.

That track looks a lot like Road Atlanta. If it is, There is a fast right hand sweeper right above the bridge, when the car crests the hill its in full 4 wheel drift. That is a very tricky turn cause come in too fast and the car is almost airborn....if the rear comes loose you get to spinn all the way down the hill. That bridge is a great place to take in the action during SCCA races.
