Crashed the Z
Well i havent exactly had the extra time to put up the post but in april i did a track day at willow springs at wrecked my Z. A few days ago i broke my foot so now i have nothing but time to sit on the computer.
Went to the track with a bunch of friends and just happened to find the guy behind me caught it on his go pro. unfortunately i dont know how to load a video on here and it wont load to my photo bucket for a link. got on the gas a little too hard coming out of turn 3 up at willow springs international raceway and slid off the track, went up and over a dirt burm, got air born, went through a chain link fence, and came down nose first into another dirt barrier.
I did not take a whole bunch of pictures but these are some that i did get.
The Z has been at the body shop since the 21st of april and is almost ready to come home, now i broke my left foot so i wont even be able to drive it when it comes home, o well still want to see it back in my driveway. Not exactly how i wanted to get a new paint job but im pretty excited for it.

Glad you were not injured in the wreck - the car can be fixed. Tough luck that you broke your foot - hope it heals soon and you can get back behind the wheel.

Ill have to ask around and see if someone is willing to come show me how to use YouTube. I had a gopro
On my car but it didn't record or corrupted cause it wasn't on the disk. (Those cameras sure can take a beating I was pretty impressed. It got ripped off by the chain link fence and found it about 150ft from the car, cleaned the dirt off and it still works flawlessly)
