why did the driver keep accelerating? That second hit looks really hard. Hope the driver wasn't hurt.
Car took a likin and kept on tikin.. sounds like it was still running at the end of the video.

The guy laughing in the video has probably never been in anything faster than a 12 second car or doesn't race at all - what a douche

Sounds like the throttle stuck. He hit the rev limiter and it just kept hitting it.

Sad, sad, sad. Loved that car and all GNs. Hate to see it hit the wall like that after just running a 7.x earlier this week.

So this happens because these cars have skinny useless front tires right? A proper street car would have been easy to control?
