Texas Mile Corvette Crash - March 2011

[628ruroken]

Come on guys don't fight both have valid points. The reason he crashed was cause of the chute. One inch to much of movement at those speeds... You saw what happened

[laptoph4x]

i wonder what the record is for the fastest crash....

[sprfly12]

Tire

[niceboy60]

Why such a simple Think as Going in a straight road becomes a massive Challenge and in most times ends up in A massive car crash when Talking about American Cars ?

.

Most people Say : is Driver error or lack of Skill

.

Only with American Cars people need Skill to Go Straight

.

Since when Skilled is required to go in a open

[800hennessy]

@niceboy60 Only American cars huh. What's the Veyron built for fag? And I'd really love to see you drive a 1400 horsepower car well over 200 miles an hour.

[dafamlay]

@niceboy60 This is You Tube's dumbest comment.

[niceboy60]

@dafamlay the dumbest think ever is making a car with 1400hp and not bothering to add a stupid spoiler to create down force

[foxyz125]

@niceboy60 Your talking about a car that is capable of wheel spin at 100mph+ do you know how ridiculous that is i would like to see you keep that car in a straight line.

[DIINj27]

no downforce

[FUCK202]

slow reactions from the crowd?

[goonchu]

the driver is ok??? any photo?? tanks

[KbzBuDDaH]

omg i would be terrified 

[gadflyiiTX]

yet another reason to use a well engineered car, like a Supra instead of vette.... (which by the way were running 240+ over 5 years ago

[4NICK8TER1]

Damn onstar...."Turn right here.."

[xilix]

Wow, that must have been so scary. Glad he's OK to race another day. Pity about the car, but sometimes these things just happen.

[Motopsychodude]

Thank god he's ok!

[altimgamr]

i wanna see the pics of after. i bet it looks better

[04mach1speed]

Hahahahahahahahahahahah

[Falken36Osku]

its the blue tape that made it slow and crash lmao

[peckerwood57]

No need for burnouts in a mile.

[MaJixGAGT]

the stickers make it go faster

[snowskater093]

Screw you KFC i dont care about your delicious chicken i want to see a car crash!

[Robert111]

Where the hello are the post mortem videos or shots?

[sonic911]

holy fuck that is the meanest sounding engine ever in the distance

[bywad]

in car crash??

[gmi2422]

looks like the left rear tire blew!

[camaros65]

What engine were you running?

[cabrame]

Awesome crash!!!

[TRDxxGTS]

NATION WIDE IS ON HIS SIDEEEEEEEEEE  :)

[g3ck0212]

@TRDxxGTS hopefully ;l

[luckeycraig]

Oh man, 1400wheel Corvette into side. Yikes. Better luck next year. Im rooting for the vette of course. Maybe not as much spinning the tires in the beginning to reduce heat warp in high speeds to maintain stability. It look like the ride height is sorta high for wanting to achieve 240+ speeds. Just noticing differences from other rear wheel successors aka BL's Supra, and Heffners Ford Gt. The Lambo climbs fast w/o much spin cause of the AWD so. Anyways lets go Vette!!! Americas past time ;)

[StickA3031]

Looks like the chute caused it

[modman46281]

i bet it melted the the front spindle... am i right?? i think im right that car was straight then it was hard right that car was turning not slidng.. dont think it was the tires... one lucky sob but glad hes ok

[evo1126]

I wuz there in Goliad when that happened, saw that n knew sumthin bad wuz gonna happen when saw smoke, it true car wuz on low rated tires?

[ESPsandEmgs]

Are there commercials on these videos? For some reason I cannot view any of his videos anymore. I a subscriber too :( This is heart breaking, HighTech Corvette is my favorite videos to watch!! CRAP!!!This SUCKS!!!

[AndreTwin]

Wow that car generates lift like crazy. Look at the front end. And that's at over 180 MPH.

[juvmol]

wow very impesive video i also woud like to see the aftermath pics or video

[cuevas711]

does any one know if that was Lane...?

[Twitch9lives]

@cuevas711 Yes it was, and that SUCKS, glad hes ok though, hes good at what he does, he dynoed and tuned my WS6

[cuevas711]

@Twitch9lives Yeah man..glad hes ok!! he let me and my tuning guy use his dyno to help me tune my turbo coupe...real kool guy...I've only met him a few times thou.

[rforracing]

Consequences of plastic meeting 224 mph.

[TrickyRickey111]

@ Hinson Motorsports - By the way, from one Texas Mile racer to the next, I know how much power it takes to push a bike over 200mph so... going 224mph in your vette is very VERY impressive! Congrats on the new record and I hope to see you guys back out there.

[TrickyRickey111]

@ Hinson Motorsports - What did you do different that allowed you to reach 230mph just after crossing the 3/4 mile marker when all you got was 224mph in the mile on the previous pass? Just curious.

[transdetendal]

glad hes ok,it shows the cars are well built

[docbipe]

tried to fly halfway down.................

[INSERTNAMEjoe]

i like at 1:11 ish a ford gt offf rodin to the rescue

+1

[MrLangstar]

Power is nothing without Control............and Downforce it appears.

Typical American Car

[transdetendal]

@MrLangstar  hmmin the twxt it appears to be a tire failure and downforce are naturely built in these cars ,other wise they would not be built as race track sports cars as in the last five years ,they even beat ferrari so i think your wrong

[MrLangstar]

@transdetendal it still crashed though

[ErikMartinez454]

thats a waste of vette

[mikef4irider]

Looks like the rim came apart?

[thiagoassisflex]

Já arrancou mal, se fosse aqui no Brasil perderia pra um motorzinho AP.

[dxdelafu]

Glad to hear he is okay. I was in line about 30 cars back and it looked terrible from a nearly a mile away. Great video. I wonder if the guy on the crane caught it? And the 220+ is incredibly impressive given I was not even close to that with my Shelby. Hope the guy that crashed gets back in the saddle soon.

[nickster1318]

tire blow out??

[rekjavicxxx]

I wanna see the video from the camera @ 0:19 

[mjw901]

I saw a video, and read a article about that car. Glad to hear he wasn`t hurt or killed.

[maserati48]

Thanks for the high quality videos. Glad the drive was ok.

[arty138]

i wuz looking at the audi r8 when i saw the smoke at the end of the mile but im glad hes alright

[FourG6397GST]

that was chilling to watch, glad he's ok

[GHOSTJERKER]

I hate to see that! Glad he's ok!

[VetteAholicZ06]

Sweet speed achievement! I'm really glad the driver walked away from that one.

[Bret3030]

no in car shots of the wreck? glad he walked away

[hightechcorvette]

@Bret3030 Sorry, for some reason the in-car camera stopped working when the car was at the starting line. I'm sure that would have been an interesting video.

[rsmelser]

@hightechcorvette thats why you should have had a GoPro!!

[jcsrt8]

@hightechcorvette Any idea what caused it? i know at those speeds it doesnt take much.

[Elmo187]

@hightechcorvette It would have shown what went wrong. Too bad. Did they ever find out what happened?

[mrbubetube]

@hightechcorvette bullshit. you just don't want everybody to hear him screaming like a bitch

[hightechcorvette]

@mrbubetube Trust me, if I had it I would post it because I'm sure it would be some very cool looking video.

[mkuroglu]

@mrbubetube Mrbubetube you are only saying that cause you would be screaming like a little bitch in that car, the record holder wouldnt.

[jellyjamacain]

@mrbubetube lol, you're a prick.

[dropdeadcoby]

@mrbubetube Wouldn't you be too if you were in that car.

[venomws6]

Very glad the driver is ok.. Thanks for the vids...Congrats for the record Hinson I'm sure you guys will build another beast..

Did you take any vids of RCC or LMR camaro?

[hightechcorvette]

@venomws6 I'm working on them right now :)

[venomws6]

@hightechcorvette Thanks for the reply I can't wait for it.. =)
