HOLY CRAP! man, that poor car....

im still confused on how he managed to do that... yet i cant understand japenese either so maybe it tells me but i just dont kno... =)

i'm guessing either the tire went flat or the wheel fell off... not quite sure either

Well, you can hear something break in the motor or trans, then the car starts losing speed, then suddenly the rear end comes around.

Loosely translated, I think the guy says "holy $hit".

....I could be wrong.

Not sure what the top speed ended up being......but he was stroll'n thats for sure.

he is doing 190ish MPH when he is at top speed. He was downshifting when the accident happened...maybe he was pushing it to hard. Right before he looses control it looks like the car is moving left and right slightly...braking to hard?

I'm bettin' it was a left rear tyre letting go

Jim.

one of his rear tires blew out.

my dad used to be on the safety crew for that race

& where it happened was right by the mile marker where he used to be posted.

right around there is a slight dip in the road that causes crashes every year

he saw a pantera disintegrate basically a few years back

we figure the car hit the dip, the tire rubbed the fender, & wore a hole

(which isn't hard at 190+ mph)
