Re: Leno sets speed mark in Porsche Carrera GT
It looks like Jay lost it but did not hit the wall .......
Quote:
Leno had just passed the timing light at more than 182 mph when he drifted high in the tri-oval and got caught up in debris near the wall.
The 605-horsepower, $450,000 vehicle spun five times on Talladega's front stretch but never hit the wall. The car suffered only minor damage after hitting a cone located in the grass in the tri-oval. Leno was wearing a helmet and seat belts, but the car had no roll cage.
A shaken Leno managed to laugh off the incident.

The fastest he has ever gone backwards! lol I will bet that he did not want to open his eyes. The fastest ass-backwards comedian in the world.
Re: Leno sets speed mark in Porsche Carrera GT
If Jay had died in the CGT, I would be one step closer to dismissing the CGT from my life. As someone said on Rennlist, Jay and CGT would have gone down in history like James Dean and the 550.
At the same time, Jay is a self-proclaimed member of the "more money than brains" club. So I suppose I cannot expect him nor the bright people at PCNA to carry out the same safety measures as Koenigsegg did with their test driver and CCR when attempting to set a world record.
