Default Gallardo crash at the TX mile

Man, this video makes your heart just drop to the floor!

I'm glad that whoever owns that car took the time and money to invest in all the Safety Cages, etc. so that the driver was able to walk away after a crash of that magnitude!

Yeah i thought that was SWs car as well. Im glad the driver walked away. I remember seeing a video a couple months ago with a gallardo like the one in the vid spinning out after the mile run.

It's not SW, some other guy i think that one made 1500 rwhp it's the R version.
SW was driving the black Supra, got some damages to the undercarriage, "i heard broken 9" ford rear diff".

I didn't break because he was going fast or anything , his chute won't open so i guess he had to drive it in the dirt that where it got distroyed.

SW has a black Supra but also has a black TT gallardo. This gallardo is the same one that ran 250mph in march. I believe the driver's name is Richard. And it was making 1900+ whp for this event.

I'm so happy that the guy walked out if it alive.

That's the only thing I'm happy about after watching that video...
