Lots of wrecked C-7s........

We have had two bad wrecks of C-7s around here from just plain going TOO FAST.........as I teach EVOC for 20 years my golden saying is ANY FOOL can enter a curve too fast....you go in it a lil slow- hit the apex and accelerate out of...........anyway found these pictures on one of the sites we look at a lot here

Yikes!!!

....That's why I go to the track...better to learn and have fun under the correct instuction and environment...

Too many drivers...run out of talent...

My brother is a Fireman..and involved in EVOC training too....

Wow, by looking at that website looks like the C7 herd is getting thinned out pretty fast. Don't want to look like a dummy but what's EVOC ?

The last one from Raleigh certainly looks fixable. I wonder why they totaled it.

Taking your dream car and turning it into a Chevrolet powered race rocket is what we do...BUT EVERY C7 owner should realize that our highways and byways are not race tracks! These cars are meant to be put through their paces on a race track! These cars are the EXACT reason why we do things like have our customer appreciation events like the the one that is coming up on Thursday 10/16/2014! FEEL FREE TO EMAIL INFO@LIVERNOISMOTORSPORTS.COM TO RSVP AND SEE IF WE HAVE ANY SPOTS OPEN! WE DO NOT WANT ANY OF OUR LIVERNOIS FAMILY MEMBERS TO HAVE THEIR CARS ON THIS LIST.
