Our friends at Jalopnik posted this unfortunate street-racing episode earlier today… but I happened to find it from another link, that of a Corvette crashing during a rather poorly-run autocross. Click the link for a few recent Corvette crash videos which have made it to the ‘Tube…

A Corvette bangs a curb mad hard during an autocross, yo. Who runs a high-speed slalom next to an autocross? Not the SCCA, I will tell you that. This one was run by “SpeedVentures”. But what’s more interesting than a Corvette hitting a curb during an autocross?

That’s right! A Corvette HITTING A SPECTATOR!

How about a Corvette crashing during a back-road run? Cut and paste

  • David Murilee Martin, These Toyota Vans were absolute garbage. As the labor even basic service cost 400% as much as servicing a VW Vanagon or American minivan.
