Thanks for the correction, waaaay better put.

Not that I want to put a rant on, but....

stupid auto programs + teenagers + crashes = more traffic enforcement and higher insurance rates

It amazes me how stupid people are when comes to TV. These people are out there wrecking their own cars so the producers of this series can sell the show to Versus and keep the profits.

Unbelievable.

I like the claim that this was done to 'give back to the community', followed by video of a $1,000 donation and a few HUNDRED thousand worth of damages. I would have thought that all those participants fighting for the Darwinism Award and willing to write off their car in the process would have raised a bit more than the equivalent of a handful of heat cycles on a set of Hoosiers.

+1,000. Seriously, all those people, all that media, all those expensive cars totalled and all they can cough up is $1,000?!?!?! Using a cancer patient for purely PR purposes seems really wrong to me.

Wow...plain stupid. Good thing to see amateurs with more money than sense destroy their cars for a few minutes on TV.

I'm also surprised at the lines some of these guys take and not giving them any margin of error if the car slides slightly off line.

You might be right about that, but the real racing will be at NJMP this weekend, which happens to be not far from the Jersey Shore! (PCA Club Race)
