Woman racing in pouring rain DESTROYS a GTR

These people are such idiots. I have seen multiple videos from this channel in the past where they are out there doing their drag racing on wet road which they run on this strip up to very high speeds past a 1/4 mile distance.

It just doesn't make any sense why you are running any car to its limits on a wet road must less a high hp car, and then on top of that, the road isn't just wet but it is raining hard and there is water all over the road.

Then yes, of course you add in the woman driver factor and it is a recipe for disaster

She is lucky she walked right out of the car (of course after she gathered her purse and some shirts and **** out of the back), because that looked like a pretty nasty crash. She seemed to have no care in the world for the car either so I am guessing it wasn't hers that she just totally dominated. I kind of don't feel bad for the owner though (if it isn't hers) because he is a moron for letting his car be driven like that in those conditions.

After smashing up some guys ride she will surely be seeing more bag in the future. You are right, gotta get the purse, the coat make sure the air bag powder is spread around evenly, but she is not that hot. All she could remember from driver training is that the car goes where you are looking.

Lol what a waste. I bet If the guy in the right lane wrecked we would talk half as much **** about the woman driver. Just saying. No matter what, rain racing iw what reinforces darwinism. Natural selection at work.

But why is it somehow impossible for the car to be hers? Lol
Maybe she doesn't care much because she's rolling in money and just walks away like a boss

^^ Possible. But it sounds way better that the dumb woman driver wrecked some dude's car racing in the rain.

I wouldn't say she had no care in the world. She just wrecked a car and had an airbag go off in her face. The full realization of what just happened probably didn't set in for another 20 minutes. Did you really expect her to fall out of the car wailing on the ground, shaking her fist at the heavens? Give me a break.

People go into strange automatic pilot after traumatic events. Evidenced by survivors or air crashes, who instead of immediately evacuating a plane, will look around to gather belongings and whatnot. Not everyone, but many people. We are all online here, do the research.

At least she grabbed her dry cleaning before she got out.

That country will never make anything of it self and its people.
This a somewhat of an official event and they just let any moron who has money and expensive car have a go at it.
No safety rules what so ever. How can you let someone drag race, not only drag race but drag race really powerful cars with all the crap in the car and no safety gear at all. Its like... Honey, i'm going shopping for a Prada bag and stopping at race track on the way home, see you at 7.

The track is just as responsible for this crash as this foolish driver for allowing these cars to race in wet conditions. I don't get this obsession for racing or testing cars out in wet conditions. With that being said, I'm glad American drag strips use greater caution in slippery and windy conditions. This is just plain retarded in my opinion.
