the incident is at ~4 minutes in. but it’s all worth a watch. This is no lazy driving resulting in an accident, this was a result of going 10/10ths just a MOMENT of lost traction

from his youtube description: This was a 1972 240Z hillclimb focused car that I had been developing for the last 13 years.

edit: note, he whispers the f-word a few times after the roll.

T hat looks like a ton of fun, right up to the “crap, what have I done” moment. It looked like the guy got really lucky. That course had a lot worse spots for that to happen.

I didn’t say I’d drive anywhere near as fast as he did. :)

The first two days are half-run practice days. He crashed on the first run on Friday

Actually-it hadda be his 2nd run. I just saw pics of it in the upper lot upright + on 4 wheels. ( I though it was his 1st also.)
