Default xB1 Street Racing Accident...Who Dun It?

haha I laughed so hard when I saw this on-air:


The only reason I know why the Scion may have attempted the race was because this is a notoriously steep downhill grade. However, with a relatively sharp curve toward the bottom, it doesnt surprise me the least that this little toaster not only flipped, but lost the race.

nothing better than that embarrassment....why would you think to go up against a mustang and come out on top? haha.

While I don't condone it, I have raced down the Mississippi river bridge in br. It also has a very steep angle and very sharp curve at the end, since most sports car drivers are terrified of turns at any decent clip, it's a fun place to humble people.

I did a sanctioned downhill race a few years back in arkansas with just low pro tires, and stiffer springs, I didn't have the best overall time, but I certainly embarrassed quite a few people with 5x+ the hp of an econobox.

The problem here is that this box driver was opportunistic, but an idiot lol

He left his car and ran...smart guy. He probably grab his papers and bounced.

When I re-watched it, I noticed they swept away a black 'n mild. So maybe he went back for weed.

Probably stole it. LEOs will have lots of tough questions for the registered owner.
