another flip-over accident in TX mile !
Twin-Turbo Corvette flips while going 230 MPH at Texas Mile
by Aaron Richardson

Hinson Motorsports was on its way to breaking another speed record this weekend at the Texas Mile when its twin-turbo Corvette Z06 took an off-track excursion. The combination of speed and grass didn't go over well, and the 'Vette turned over once before landing back on its wheels.

Thankfully, the driver walked away from the wreck, a testament to the Texas Mile's strict safety standards, and the strength of Hinson's Corvette. With the driver OK, Hinson Motorsports is focusing on coming back stronger than ever with a new car.









hope our boys doing good!
best of luck

After seeing the violence of that crash video, I'd say the driver is one unbelievably lucky fellow.

The police said they would arrest you if you ran out there. The race organizers insist you let emergency personnel handle all incidents...

Some of the pics look that way, but MBailey is right. It's a sanctioned event and they have the personnel there to handle it. Anyone running out to help would probably just get in the way.

Got it, just looks a bit strange to see people uninterested and kick rocks and sip gatorade moments after the crash...

Too effing right!! I couldn't believe the girl in the field or the guy in the photo just sitting in his chair like he was watching TV or something.

I think if I was that close I'd be running over to help the driver. I'd at least get my butt out of the chair!
