Never let the driver work on the car...
Default USTCC Reno Crash Video

Here is the first clip of the crash involving me and Neil Vanni. It's about 10Mb.

Neil was in the lead and I was chasing him as we came up on slower traffic. Neil got held up in a critical place (watch his brake lights), and I tried to take advantage of his lost momentum by going around the outside of him.

Watch what happens...

Neil's car rolled 5 or 6 times. It was completely written off. Thankfully, Neil was fine other than being pretty shaken up and very bummed about his car.

The WRX faired better. I got away with a bent control arm, cracked left front wheel, bent right front wheel, two destroyed fenders, bent hood, broken windshield, and an annihilated front bumper/splitter. Even with that damage, I was able to race another 7 laps or so to the end of the event.

I'll have more video later with in-car pointed on me as well.
