When EVO's ATTACK!!!

Philthy · 05-08-2006, 09:20 AM

I was at Pocono Race track this weekend having some fun on my scooter, and all the talk was about this EVO that smashed into an NSX and a G35 that were sitting on the gid waiting for them to finish their session.

Funny thing is, one of my good friends girlfriend was the instructor in the car that caught the whole thing on video. She stated that she wasn't aware of the camera, and the guy in the car was friends with the guy in the EVO. They both didn't know how to drive for crap, and where trying to show boat and make a cool video for the internet - well, they got one... too funny...

The Video

The Pics...

Here's one of me on my scooter - 150+mph coming out of NASCAR 1 on North...

Man...three real nice silver cars, done.

Luckily nobody was standing in the way or anything.

You just never know what will happen when you go to the track.....

davidv · 05-08-2006, 12:20 PM

Crashing cars on the track is funny? I missed the funny part.

godmans · 05-08-2006, 12:42 PM

The problem is..

how is damage going to be compensated..

showstoppertk · 05-08-2006, 04:39 PM

yeah, try explaining that one to your insurance company. you might as well start talking to your lawyer to try and get the money out of the EVO owner/driver. oh and start shopping for a new car insurance company...

Wow thats SAD...3 nice cars f***ed up!

diwun67 · 05-08-2006, 05:27 PM

Insurance will most likely NOT cover any damages on a track. Sucks

ZainT · 05-08-2006, 06:27 PM

why would they have people standing/parking so close to the track?

SOLO-350Z · 05-08-2006, 06:28 PM

If its instructor training Insurance will cover it. But if it wasn't then no.

Julian@MRC · 05-08-2006, 06:41 PM

That sucks..

SinCity350Z · 05-08-2006, 06:45 PM

Note to self...never ever run with whatever group put that event on. Judging by their safety standards in the grid, I am suprised they had instructors for beginners. Seriously, who in their right mind would have the cars grid right there with no protection between them and a hot track. The are very lucky that there wasn't a grid marshal standing at the front of that line. He/she would have been dead. Live and learn I guess.

tig488 · 05-08-2006, 07:32 PM

if the car is sitting still, on a track or not, and gets plowed into, insurance should cover it.

SinCity350Z · 05-08-2006, 07:39 PM

Guys, the owners of these cars are trying to get all pictures and video off of the internet so out of respect for them please delete them from your original post Philthy.

Link to the thread where he asks for all pictures/video to be removed...

the owners of the g35 and nsx might be able to get their insurance to cover their own damages, but I wouldn't be surprised if they got their policies nonrenewed b/c of the circumstances. I mean obviously they were waiting to get on the track and no personal auto policy will cover you while "racing". plus their going to be pissed b/c if they do end up paying out for the G35 and nsx, they're going to have to try to get the money out of the EVO owner. and the EVO is completely SOL b/c his insurance company has absolutely no responsibility.

They will fight you every step of the way, and if they do end up having to cover it, they will promptly cancel your policy afterwards.

zland · 05-08-2006, 07:49 PM

I agree that it was not a wise move to have those cars/people near the track without a barrier. Some people may not have track experience thus dont know better but those that were running the event have no excuse.

jinsei888 · 05-08-2006, 07:58 PM

tracks are not covered by your insurance company
