That is a shame.Did the axle break on the launch?

Driver just shifted into 2nd and got tremendous wheel hop. Then right rear tire grabbed and car swung violently to the right, blower belt snapped, lost power steering, crossed line into the right lane missing the other car by about 20 feet, hit the wall on the driver's front, bounced and then back swung around and driver's rear banged the wall and the car came to a stop. Driver is fine, car is totaled.

What he said!
I just spoke to the driver ( Richy) on the phone.
He is fine. Already bought a New 08!
You just can't keep a TRUE Corvette guy down.

I'm glad to hear he is coming back.Something like that can be very discouraging.
