What i remember from it.

Driver was up front oand honest about what happened to insurance company and they paid up.

The comments made were made and caused such an uproar.. there a was a edit done to the later part of the movie to provide a name and his picture (i think )

seen this about 10 times, and I don't think it was a $95,000 custom vette

still sucks anyway. That was at Great Lakes dragway in WI , about 1 hour from me.

Too bad the guys taping it are saying that's f*** awesome holy sh** etc..

From the looks of the video they weren't waiting, they just weren't ready. The guys in the golf cart were the first ones there. I would expect quicker reaction from a sanctioned event.
