i can only hope that this is not SCCA. but the class markings on his door lead me to believe that it is. http://videos.streetfire.net/search/crash/6/c498a697-0432-48e4-8122-6fb0247637a9.htm

I think that guy has a pretty high horse power-to-brains ratio. :roll:
But even worse is the organizer that let him keep running at that quasi-road course event after he put one in the trees!
Hey, #555 - I this Davis's evil twin? :P

Unbelievable! PCA event I hope. I wonder if all the trips off-course (off-road in his case) are in that compilation.
Someone needs to let him know that he has not mastered the art of braking and that the gas pedal is not an on/off switch. Patience grasshopper!

A sad compilation.
He has all the accessories (big tach, shift light, G-Tech, gloves, harnesses, etc.) but he doesn't have a scintilla of knowledge of how to drive.
Horsepower is not the path to speed. The path is only through patience, seat time and the genuine desire to improve one's skill level.
As we have all seen, time and time again, someone new to this hobby who spends more time and money on bolt on parts than seat time and education, is quickly someone that gets burned out because they can't understand why they can't win. (that, or they destroy their car)
It's been a neat insight instructing at VIR. I have had students who had genuine desire to learn and approached it right. I also had a student that was going to WIN THE EVENT in his 5 series BMW on street tires and he ended his event in the guardrail.
Horsepower is only part of going fast. Sadly, few people realize it.
And yes, hopefully that region, and/or event organizers, were hopefully more vigilant than it seems in reigning in that "driver".

At first I thought it was just a guy being a douche, but why did they consistently let him do that?

not sure what to say to that.... looks to me like the quasi road course was a PCA event.. thats why they let him keep running.. you only get kicked out of a PCA event if you beat the P cars with something like a beat to crap VW :lol:

One of the guys on a Honda forum I read semi-often won the top yearly championship with his local Corvette club in an STS Civic Si. He was politely asked not to return the next year. :o

That is priceless.
Step 1: join corvette club
Step 2: win championship with STS Civic
Step 3: get kicked out of corvette club
Step 4: setup a website documenting the experience
Step 5: put Google Adsence on said website
Step 6: post site on digg.com
Step 7: PROFIT!
