They were headed to a "wrong fitment" meet. Apparently it is a hellaflush meet. I wouldnt expect anything else happening... Wet roads, high hp, yet only a 1/3rd of your tires usable contact patch hitting the pavement....

Wrong Fitment Cru FTL.
I was amazed that the right Z just seemed to literally turn to its left, versus the back end breaking loose and scooting right like you would think if it broke traction.

they weren't street racing? But yet you can clearly hear the Z not "tap" it but punch it. What an idiot.

Ditto
Not street racing may have sounded good for the insurance folks.  Not throwing stones as i don't live in a glass house, but damn keep going straight at least. I"m like Marcus though didn't see the rear end kick out or anything so the why did it happen is my question. I am betting his steering followed his eyes when he was looking to see if he was winning. |

Good observation.
"Hands follow the eyes, car follows the hands. 'Nuff said." Or something like that.
