Definitely a total. Hopefully no one hurt and the owner has good insurance.

I hope he removes those numbers on the side before showing it to his insurance company.

Well said and hope he does not have USAA. Zero percent int. on new ACRs now too. The hazards of tracking.

Nope had an ACR here locally get totaled at 1am doing over 100mph.
I fixed one up at the begging of the year. I would not mind getting that one. Looks like a challenge.

VIPER GTSR 91

Guess you missed my long discussed thread exactly a year ago when my GTS was stolen out of my garage and totalled an hour later by the thief. I HAD usaa and had to hire an attorney as they initially refused to pay a dime. Their idea was that the car was modified and used at track events even though the claim had NOTHING to do with such. Yes, they will sell you ins. for an ACR but pray you never have a claim. Was with them for 25 years too and a great record but that did not make a difference.

Unfortunate! You should see the cars we build.. full carbon fibre body race cars.. completed one day, then totally trashed and wrecked.. that's racing!

It looks like Lime Rock... If it is, the car gets very light coming over that ridge..
I feel bad for the guy, glad he is OK...

Yes, even in my mostly stock '94 in third gear up that hill the wheels will break loose - you best be aimed straight! And most incidents are when the car lands... That is my chicken turn.

At the track where it should be. Awesome. The guy should be congratulated for tracking it and not trashing it into a street light like so many idiots do.

Unfortunately this isn't the first ACR to be smacked but glad the driver is ok.

Wow, glad nobody was seriously hurt. Are the rear of the cars actually getting airborne coming over the crest???....it also looks like the flagger was waving yellow. I wonder if it was for the Viper or some other incident that made the ACR do something that made him go off track.
I was at Infineon today for a Track Masters driving deal and a fairly nice Porsche went off in turn 7. Not a tremendous amount of damage, but I'm still guessing about $25k worth.

Airborne or light, dunno. Wheelspin in 3rd with 400hp car on Kumhos, yes. (Doesn't happen in 4th, so that's one correction.) Car takes off in direction of front wheels when rears hook up again. Because you are finishing a right turn as you crest, drivers tend to swerve right when landing. I'm no expert but try to drive the uphill so that I'm heading straight a little sooner than what seems normal. Probably a better line, so that explains my mediocre lap times.
The back straight leading to the uphill is ~110MPH when I stop looking at the gauges and that big old honking wing didn't help save the guy, so I'm guessing his speed was faster than me. Wonder if those skid marks were from the ACR. Yikes.
The Youtube author has another video of a longer session so you can see the entire track and hear his engine rev up over the hill.

Nope, there was a Texas car that got totalled. I think it was black/red stripe.
