Please refer back to my analogy… read the title.. What does it say COMEDIAN/ACTOR!!! not a race car driver, hence he shouldn’t be expected to drive such a car and not do what he did. To answer your first question, in the big picture I’m a nobody, just like YOU.

It is just a car. It can be fixed. I mean it is a great car but no big deal. I'm amazed at how high that car lifted off the ground at impact though. I guess that shows how light weight the car really is.

Apparently the concept of amateur racing is foreign to you. But let me explain something, all proffesional racers were once amateur racers. I truly fail to grasp your logic, that racing should only be left to the racers.
I mean no disrepect towards you, but its ignorant thinking like this, that organizations like Sema is trying to fight. This type of thinking is what ruins the hobby for the car enthusiast. Think about it, laws that restrict modifications done to personal property. Laws that restrict, tracks where people could race. You kill amateur racing, and youll take proffesional racing away too. You take that away, and youll end advancement of automotive technology.
That enzo should be fixable.
To be honest, it looks like who is mostly to blame, is the moron, that designed a track layout, who puts concrete barriers so close to a hair pin turn, especially if coming from a straight?!?!?

Eddie Griffin wrecks rare $1.5 million Ferrari
MAN I WOULD BE PISSED!!!!
Ohh man!
IRWINDALE, California (AP) -- Eddie Griffin crashed a rare Ferrari Enzo worth $1.5 million into a concrete barrier while practicing at a racetrack Monday, destroying the car but escaping uninjured.
The comedian was practicing for a charity race to promote his upcoming film, "Redline," when he drove too fast around a curve at the Irwindale Speedway. Video footage showed the red sports car screeching before it ricocheted off the barrier with heavy damage to its front.
"Undercover Brother's good at karate and all the rest of that, but the brother can't drive," Griffin, referring to one his past films, said after the accident.
The film's publicist, Wendy Zocks, said Griffin was "doing OK."
"He walked away completely unscratched, but probably a little shaken," Zocks said.
The Enzo, valued at around $1.5 million, was owned by the executive producer of "Redline," Daniel Sadek, whose exotic car collection is featured in the movie.
Sadek said that the car was damaged beyond repair and that he had "mixed feelings" about the wreck.
"I'm glad Eddie came out of the crash OK, but my dream car got destroyed," Sadek said. "I went to my trailer for about 15 minutes and I thought, there's people dying every day. A lot of worse things are happening in the world."
Only 400 Ferrari Enzos were ever produced, all between 2002 and 2004.
Griffin's credits include the comedies "Undercover Brother"; "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" and its sequel; "Date Movie"; and "Norbit."
