7 second vette flip

This car is totally awesome.

Even after they got it back right side up, it doesn't look too bad.

those were huge turbos under the hood up front after they were pulling him back to the garage, did you see them they looked like they were 12" tall...lol

Thanks for the video, and yeah the Vette looked good for sliding down the track on its roof.

My guess is, it looks a lot worse to the owner.

My goodness! That is amazing- in both bad and good ways! Glad to see that the driver was ok. Maybe they should bubblewrap the car before its next run.

In a way, it's good advertising for his business. He builds race cars. Shows how safe they are, even at those high speeds. That car went a 7.01 on the same day as the other video I showed.
I just heard on the day of the crash it had gone in the 6's.
