That's a hard video to watch.  You know what's coming and you really don't want to see it.  Too bad about all the dumb comments following the video.  Apparently some of those ya-hoos never heard of women like Danica Patrick, Katherine Legge, Milka Duno, Davina Galica, etc, etc, etc.

Was the woman in the video prepared to drive that Superformance?  Clearly not.  Was the owner a fool to let her drive it, especially when he saw the difficulty with which she got it moving?  Definitely.

Sad deal.  I hope she wasn't badly hurt.

eric your right, alot of women are making great strides in racing.
i picked up on this from a friend in a email i showed this to my son and said that any one this could happen to if not ready for such power, heck pop of the clutch and your history if you don't know your limitations and just not ready for this kind of HP you can end up dead.
the footage just blows you away at how fast she got down the road.
these cars can be replaced but we can not
so ya'll drive carefully ya hear.

This "event" is several weeks old but, the rumor has it that it was HER car. She was just very intoxicated. Bad combination. Several similar events have been recorded leaving this establishment
known as the  "Ice House".

Hi all... New to the Hurricane Forums... I'd looked at FFR's pretty seriously for awhile, but after seeing the completeness of the HMS kit, I'm sold.
As far as this video... I find it hard to believe it's her car... she has a hard time just back out of the parking space... you'd think if it were hers, she'd at least have a little bit of experience with it.
Gorgeous car, Stupid, Stupid woman!! Really dumb on the owners part to let someone (Man or woman) who has no experience with a SERIOUSLY fast car drive it.

I see the Texas registration and inspection stickers. Is that the infamous River Road Ice House?
