Handling your vehicle

Hopefully most of us HHR SS owners know how to handle our vehicles when we race them. Here's and example of what NOT to do:

Found the video on the Sy/Ty forum

A simple case of too much horsepower and not enough brains.

I've had a couple of fishtails in my '98 Z28 over the years but nothing like that one.
I thought the dude was dead when he approached with the camera and at first it appeared as if the top had caved in on the cabin.

Pretty hard to duplicate a fishtail like that with FWD.

Might want to assign a NWS icon on this one for the F-word... oh that's right, this board doesn't have those!

It's called experience...and under uncontrolled conditions.

Have seen a new ZO6 crash within 300 feet of the dealer. Viper put into a rock fence. Mustang tagging 5 cars before it could stop. Camero into a lake....Triumph 15 feet off the ground in to a tree.....and I survived a 180MPH get off of a Honda 750 superbike....and an end over end in a '67 Cougar......and a spectacular bad crash in the parking lot of St. Louis International Raceway...

No one is immune....

I've also driven a semi for 300 miles on solid ice....at 60+ MPH...don't ask.

You take your chances....
