@poxpopulus: Yeah, that's what I was thinking....it's the NHRA's responsibility to inspect the track before scheduling a race there. If I went and built a track with a massive concrete barrier at 1330 feet (1/4 mile is 1320 feet), it's up to the racing organization or individual to decide whether it meets their…

@IamNotToddDavis: Supposedly he hit the crane whose boom you can see in the video. But if that was the case, why it was it in the way?

@Laxfalcon246: This, supposedly:

Just think...a little bit of time and effort could make your new Luce wagon look as good as this:

For anyone who wishes to see the video, here's the link (just remove the space.) And like TheGuinnessTooth said, there's nothing specifically bad about it, and in a way isn't as bad as some other crash videos, because you know it was instant.

@skierpage: The front air dam looks a little conservative for an M5, but the quad exhaust and low-profile tires, like you said, speak to the contrary. I just want to know how fast it went around....seems like they may be somewhat pushing it here, considering that compression on the rear suspension.

@what is a POLAЯ and why is this weird bear my avatar?: They do rotate some, but they're definitely sliding some as well during the blips (but not the steady throttle up to the line)

@Rock517: And THAT is also why Leno would be an excellent host of TGUSA.

@slostudent: Yeah, I wish they had chosen from this pool: (but then, who's to say any of them would accept)

@BMRFILE: Lost, 24, House, and Prison Break are all purely American, as far as I'm aware.
