    Near Disaster at the Track Today - California Spee

    My buddy and I were out filming runs at California Speedway today, and a SN95 Cobra with 600+ RWHP lost it at about the 1000ft mark, almost hit the Fox Body Stang next to him and then recovered :uh oh: Here is the video for anyone that wants to see the almost carnage. Watching it in real time I thought for sure he was going to tag the other car or the wall .

    LOL, no I have a white 04 Cobra. I do know the driver of the black car - he lives close by and is friends with my brother.

    Sadly now demodded :(

    Looks like he at least had the good sense to lift and to not hit the brakes.

    Very good driver.


    Did the driver of the Fox pull his car into the center a bit to avoid getting tapped?

    That was a busted run from the beginning.
    I doubt I would have still been on mine after spinning that much. Would have let off to try something else.


    Looked like his goal was to spin the whole track.
