LMAO . . . that's fvcked up, Tito! But damn it, I can't stop laughing!

I don't mean to sound insensitive, but I don't feel sorry for him. I do, however, feel sorry for the 57 year old man who was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. It's always the innocent victims who get killed or seriously hurt. It's rare that the guilty party suffers any kind of consequences, other than legal ones. They usually walk away from accidents they caused, i.e. drunk drivers, unharmed.

What an absolute terrible shame. I hope that the 57 year old man pulls through without any complications.

Sad... at his age he should be able to afford going to the strip pay a affordable fee and run your car as much as you want. But don't do it on the street with innocent people or even worse pedestrians on the road.

Should also add, "For those 10 seconds or less, he was free."

Sorry, former co-workers and i used to recite lines from the Fast and the Furious all the time.

Just to go on a bit of a tangent, it seems that each F&F movie focused on a different type of autosport:
F&F: drag
F&F2: circuit(?)
F&F3: drift
I wonder what the focus is going to be for the 4th one. Maybe they'll just focus on the plot.
