Ouch. Reminds me of Watkins Glen a couple of years ago when Kevin Buckler was one of a whole bunch of drivers caught up in a big mess like this due to excessive rain. The lesson then and in the video: don't unstrap until you are sure all the cars still on track have gone by safely.

There's a good way to turn millions of dollars into a pile of rubble.

An absolute shame. Amazing noone got seriously hurt. The guy who jumped the Viper used up one of his nine lives for sure.

Disregard corner stations and flag conditions at your own risk.

Amazing. I wonder what the total tab for that little "fender bender" was?!

Unbelievable. You wonder if a flag wasn't being waved at a corner or if the visibility was so bad they couldn't see it. Sad waste of beautiful cars.

That's not gonna buff out.

The important thing is nobody took a dirt nap over it. A car is just a car.

Wow! Reminds me of watching snowbirds drive in the rain in Phoenix. Thanks for posting!
