    Thanks for posting. My daughter absolutely loved the light metallic green #52 - I will make sure she does not see this. :)
    I use to worry about money; but then realized I don't HAVE anything to worry about.

    wtf? It looks like one car was pulling out, giving up the line and then the driver in the video neglected him?

    If memory serves 4 cars came off on a tilt bed (2 during the race and 2 after), and 2 more drove off under their own power. The light green one finished the race after ignoring black flags and eventually shedded the rear bumper cover. The race directors said this race was bad - the crash, 4 passes under yellow, and a couple refusals to stop for mechanical black flags.

    Looks like it started with the gold NB (the 60 car i think) putting 2 off to the left and then snapping back across the track. It hit the camera car, spun sideways and then collected the pack. There was a red NA that was mangled both front and rear, but I don't recall the car number.

    I'd think ignoring black flags is a good way to not see the track for a while...

    i think we all think the car that gets side swiped at tms and bunny hooped a few ft off the ground is our favorite.

    Did the guy driving pinch off the guy on the exit? It looks like video'd car is pretty close to the curbing when they collide. SM is going to start driving the price of Miatas up soon.
