Link does not work but found it on a search. I wonder what brand. Nobody was hurt which is surprising given the pictures of the damage.

showing off is usually a bad idea. It's ALWAYS a bad idea in a high power car with no driver aids.

 

This happened a little over a year ago. Car is an ERA. Apparently the mono is still straight and, as far as I am aware, he intends rebuilding it at some stage.

This incident is just one more on a long list of many that support the old adage; 'The fact that one may be qualified to write the check does NOT mean he's qualified to drive the car.'

That looks like more than $30k in damage. Despite 20,000 miles on my SPF, my last speeding ticket was in 1976. I'm trying to keep that record intact.
