Default Crashed the F-Bomb

We rented the Camarrilo Airport on thursday filming the end of Hot Rod Tv thats going to be on espn2 in june Back dropping the F-bomb with some b17's 24's and 25's and finally got a chance to stretch the wings out on the f-bomb we were having an awesome time we actually were laying 1000 ft burn outs at only 12.5 psi for real .I'll post some pics.So i decided to call my brother who has a high 11 second Ferrari ,So we could eat it up on Camera.Well we torn a new asshole in the Ferrari only to realize we didn't have enough room to stop.I tried slowing the car down but the hydraboost and skinnys don't mix at speed i tried pulse the pedal to not lock up that much but i soon realized it was either lock them up or crash.So i locked up the brakes soon after popped both front tires the car came down on the control arms and Dave and I went 100 mph slideways into a water barrier .The Bomb and Dave and I came out with minor damage just folded a fender and popped 2 tires.My brother told me at the end of the day you may have put a city block on my car accelerating but i'm driving my car home.Heres some pics http://namtramedia.com/clients/nre/ftp/116small.jpg

Sorry about the F-Bomb Tom. This has been a bad few days for some high-end cars on this site.

Glad you are okay and that the damage is minor.
