Yeah, that's a lot of shredded carbon fiber and fiberglass...someone should have suggested putting the rain tires on the truck before heading to the races.

If you watch the TxDoT cameras on North Dallas Tollway during a rain it looks very similar, except there aren't any TVR's in the crashes.

Something tells me EvilChili is the Good Father's new guilty indulgence Cheesy

Actually the story behind that is that supposedly it was a sudden cloudburst... nobody was prepared.

I can't believe that the two guys at the beginning (safety officers, maybe?) were just trotting along the fence looking over their shoulder at the oncoming car. I'd have been hopping the safety barrier, like, right freakin' now!

Those people drive on water like people around here do.

Yea, I kinda figured they all had dry tires on for some reason. Great footage, if you can call it that anymore.
