He wrecked it into a wall on the track. . Sucks!

A long time ago (late 70's early 80's) at Daytona you could sign a waver and take any car on to the superspeedway. After the 24 hour race it was common to see carerra's, 930 turbo's, vettes, racing camaro's and mustangs just wasted in the infield. Not long after the first idiot died they stopped letting the public onto the super speedway.

 

looks like he's not the only one who lost it

 

wow.....oh well as long as he was ok. I"m sure he has the money to buy another

 

Exactly, if he has the balls to track a Diablo 6.0....I'm sure he could fund another (maybe he'll step into a Murcielago).

But, he did just learn a $250k lesson.

That curve is crazy, look at all the tire marks.

 

can we assume there is no collision coverage available once you set wheels to the track?

 

You got it, it's absolutely not covered by insurance.

 

Ouch, that hurts just to look at.

it is my understanding that insurance will cover track accidents if you're there for instructional purposes (driver training weekend, etc.) i believe st farm and the other big dogs will cover ya.

unfortunately, if you have cheaper insurance they will cover for the same reason but will promptly drop you. and that sucks.

if you're just on the track jacking around in your diablo, your chances may be slimmer.

 

my heart fell outta my ass when I saw that second pic.

 

I would say, instructional learning in a Lambo?

Only instructions you would be getting is how to drive fast around the track.

Unless you have a real good relationship with you insurance company (which still wouldn't guarantee anything), the chances of them covering a race track accident is basically slim to none.

 

Um, quick question...if so many cars are flying into that wall, why don't they take the wall out?

 

You just answered your own question, the wall is there because cars tend to fly off the track at that turn.

Its there to protect anybody who is in the center area during a race.

 

How are people sliding into the inside of the turn? It looks like a mild down hill right that straigtens out. If you trace the tire marks it looks like people are jetting into the wall on the straight.

BTW: I wonder if that's his daughter in the second pic...

 

So why are there people in the center in the first place?

Sorry don't actually watch too much racing as a sport.

 

thats just wrong bro!

 

the humanity

 

Could be anyone......crew, family members, friends, photographers, etc.

 

Nuff said then.

 

 

that's rough
hurts to see a lambo like that

 

Ahahahahaha dude, funniest comment all day!

 

:'( can't look.... soooo sad.... beautiful car..... gone

 

what the insurance company doesn't know won't hurt 'em

all they know is that it was driver's ed ........in a Diablo

 

u shoulda put a warning for that second pic .. thats hard to look at ... beautiful car .. then WAM reck

 

WOW I am tramutized like a little bitch...

Did anyone notice that those are hmmmm 20's in the rear and ... 18's in the front ?????? NICE

 

Yuck.......

As long as you guys do not post pics of a wrecked CL, that should be against forum rules!!!

 

One of my friends totalled his 993 at a track event and to his relief it was FULLY COVERED BY INSURANCE since it was a 'drivers training' event. Ha ha suuuuure, boy was he relieved. He still hasn't decided what to replace it with... He only had the car for a month !

 

wonder how much that pile of scrap is worth... id bet still a pretty decent amount. if nothing else he can pawn off a rim or two

 

I was thinking something similar.........Since there is no report of him crashing at a track, he can easily tow the car home and then call his insurance a week later and tell them he lost control on the road and hit the wall. Remember, there is usually no police report issued unless there is an injury from the accident, or you specifically ask for one. He can just tell his insurance that he felt fine after the crash, and just called a tow truck. It just seems a little more realistic (and more common) for a person to slam into a wall, than to crash at a driver's ed course. Either way he gets an accident point on his record, but driving a lamborghini, I think he can afford the insurance increase!

 

talk about an energy deflecting barrier!

how bout dem absorbing ones.

 

is the engine a total loss?

 

that sucks.



i wounder who the girl is?

 

For those that think he can tow the car and claim he wrecked it on the street into a wall/divider... you don't think an insurance company is going to investigate a $250k claim?? He's fsck'd. What about when he gets nailed for insurance fraud after they find out he wrecked it at a track and filed a false claim. He's already taking a pounding in the wallet. No need to take a pounding in the ass in jail.

 

Thats just not right.

 

hopefully, there will now be one less "wannabe racer" to demolish another piece of art

 

better him.. than me!

 

i'll give my two cents on the insurance coverage issue ... i had to check with my company since that's about all the action my car gets. basically what people are saying is that the event has to be setup as a sort of driver training or education class. the way you can tell the difference is there will be no door to door racing. the only way to pass is if you get waved by. at those events, you can get a track instructor to ride along with you too, but don't have to. at the track i go to a lot, as people leave, and the usual group stays there, we turn up the gain on the competition, but i'd never do it if my acura was my daily driver.



i have farmer's insurance btw.
