Title just says "Island". The tower does look familiar though.

Burning car at the trees last Thursday?

"Hi, AllState..."Full Coverage" means just that right? Boy, do i have a funny story for you...remember that $95K Corvette I just bought a policy on?? Well what had happened was, and you're gonna laugh....."

i wonder if that is covered under "Accident Forgivness"

*we need a burning car or exploding car emotoicon or somthing* lol

[BonzoHansen]

He might be mad when he finds out his car isn't covered on a race track. LOL

:hitfan: = :missu:

Cleanup in aisle 1! :shock:

Yeah, if you look at most insurance policies they don't cover you while racing at the track. Some companies will send people down to video tape racing as well and they'll drop you if they find you racing.

def looks like island to me....thats crazy ****! i didn't think anything would happen there...i'd double check with melissa though

[BonzoHansen]

It says "Brand new corvette blew up @ Island Dragway " right on the youtube description.

Don't know about the Z06 part, UT might be hallucinating....

[maroman88]

i dont know of any factory white ZO6's, i know of one that was painted white in our area, it was on ebay and craigs list

[NJSPEEDER]

the only white Z06 is george bensen's. white isn't one of the offered colors last i heard, george repainted his after a really bad accident.
last i heard george's car was not back together yet. he is doing a full 25.2c(? cert down to 7.50) on teh car and i think it is still at TTP being put back together since the cage jsut got certified.

Was sent to me by a co-worker who said he had a friend there. :shrug: I just took the title he sent to me in internal email.

Whatever it was, I hope no one got hurt.

I wonder what marshmellows would taste like in that kind of fire? 8-)

That isn't George Benson the great jazz guitarist, is it? LOL

[DaSkinnyGuy]

In the video I thought the car was silver which could make it a Z06

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

wow!

[Tru2Chevy]

The title of the video on YouTube is: NOS backfire on new C6 Corvette

He just posted pics of the freshly painted cage in the drag racing section of CorvetteForum.com

[Blackbirdws6]

there are white z06's now, it's a commemorative addition with the red hash marks on the fender. I believe its called the ron fellows addition.

My friend was there when it happened. He said he felt the concussion of the blast in his car.

[12secondv6]

[SteveR]

Yea it was a nitrous backfire on the starting line in a white Z06.

[NJSPEEDER]

how bad does a fire like that mess up the track? do you jstu scrape off the melted plastic bits and get back to racing or are there actual repairs invovled?
