Has GRADS seen it yet?

The families have requested the video be removed. I know it's all over the internet and there's not much that can be done at this point but perhaps you could add a disclaimer to the original post at minimum for those who do not wish to view it?

Written by people that aren't living life... Rather just going through it.

Genius stuff right there. One guy actually suggested harnesses and a roll bar.

FYI: It states this fact in the subject line "Graphic Video of Shootout Crash claiming two lives ". Personally, I myself find nothing graphic about it ~ horrifying maybe but not graphic.

Maybe you should... at least it will give you pause when your given the opportunity to go 170mph+ in a cat.

Others live by the credo of "No Risk No Reward". I live be the credo "What reward am I going to get for the risk?".

Here I would have to say "Pass".

Awful.

Sad fateful demonstration of just how south things can go at speeds like that.

I hope the families manage to find some peace.

Very sad and a tragic accident. But they knew the risks and were doing what they loved. Peace and sympathy to their families and friends.
