Lamborghini Diablo @ Road Atlanta
Got these pictures from a friend of mine. Apparently there was a private testing session with this guy and his 6 month old Diablo. Ouch!
EDIT---the owner of the car replied to this post heres what he had to say........
"Lambo Crash
Just reviewed your Thread. I was the owner of the Lambo you all have commented on. After reading all the speculation, I thought you should know what really happened. I was invited to bring the car there to participate in the filming of a commercial for a local Motorcycle Dealership. My job was to ride around and have the cameras film the car for inclusion in that commercial. I had done this thru the day, with various passengers, who were there, and wanted a ride in the Lambo. During my last outing, I went out wide under the bridge, leading to turn 12 and caught the speed bumbs on the left side. The car was "light" and immediatley spun a half turn and slid down the hill into the wall. You can see the result. Most importantly my passenger and I escaped with "minor" injuries- cuts in both of our heads, broken collar bone and a lot of soreness! Fyi, the car was totalled and the insurance company paid in full with no complaint- I was not racing, preparing to race or taking any "times". Also, I am very familiar with the Track having raced there many times in AMA, CCS, and WERA motorcycle races. Allan."
