CGT, Lambo, 993tt, Sti, save as..

 

Must be nice to have a CGT, but for what its worth the STi hung in there.

 

damn thats nits to see all those lined up

 

What video was I watching then?

 

STi ain't hung with shit. nice vid.

 

Very cool video, but the STi didn't hang with anything

 

OH MY GOD..... agreeing twice within 2 separate threads??? ridiculous.

 

That was a cool vid, and yea the STI was left pretty far back it was probably stock or close to it.

 

Ok, after watching it again I guess the STi got blown away. I can't get enough of the sound of a Carrera GT. Cool vid

 

hehehe. no worries.

 

cool vid

 

haha how funny! every Saturday morning in Crystal Cove, Newport Beach there is a get together of those guys and more cars of that nature, and that is them as they are coming back into Newport. Awesome to see all those cars in person

 

- I've heard and read about these gatherings... here are some pics:

ok.. this is very sad. There is speculation and it seems just about confirmed that the owner of the CGT, "ben, lj" was killed today while driving his CGT at California Speedway, along with a passenger who was a prospective CGT buyer. Ben had been a longtime member of 6speedonline and other boards and this is a very very sad day for many. He was a frequent poster and very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful to many. My deepest condolences to his family if this is indeed true - and I think it is turning out to be true.

so sad...

 

Very sad

From what I remember reading, the CGT is a monster to drive and can be very hard to control

dang i saw this thread and was wondering hmmm wonder if it's the same guy

 

 

Awesome video

Just sad to see something like that happen to someone

 

Ok - it was Ben LJ. Eyewitness reports say the accident was not Ben's fault (early speculation made it seem like it was) - the organizers of the event had chosen the entrance to the track to be right at the end of the straight (bad idea) - so he was driving ~165 mph on the straight when a Ferrari pulled out from the pits and into his way - he swerved to avoid it, lost control, and hit the wall. Passenger died on impact, driver was airlifted to the hospital with a pulse, where he later died.

 

Holly shit!!!
