Video: Corvette Slams Into Concrete Wall During Illegal Drag Race

Some lessons are hard to learn. They can even hurt more when you slam your $70,000 Corvette into a concrete wall on a highway. This video is a perfect lesson of why you keep your ego in your pocket and take it to the track, not the streets.

While we all admit, when we are at that stop light and that driver next to us gives us that look or the head nod, something insides of us wants to hammer the throttle to the floor and school them. With that said, the outcome of engaging in street racing often turns out to be not so great for your wallet, your well-being, and the safety of others.

As seen in the video, this street race goes bad quickly, when the opposing Corvette loses control and slams all $70k of it into a wall, at high speed. When one chooses to engage in these activities they lack a controlled environment like that offered on a legal track.  Everything from road condition, to weather, to surrounding traffic can affect the outcome of an illegal street race. Where as in a controlled environment many of the unexpected things that can occur during illegal street racing is eliminated.

For those with a need for speed, when on the public highways and bi-ways, keep this video in mind and remember that while you feel in control and may feel confident in your skill level, for your safety and for the safety of others keep it on the track and not the streets. Throw down the ego on the hot sticky pavement where the men and woman play and not where the boys and girls attempt to play. Keep it safe and keep it legal.

With many tracks throughout the nation offering test and tune nights, this is a great way to build your skill and get your need for speed out of your system.  For more info or to locate a track in your area visit RacingIn
