I saw a flying Ferrari Saturday at PR.
Me and my son were headed to the motorcross track and had just turned right at the gate when we saw a brand new Ferrari 360 come flying through the air from the road course. We ran up to the car just as the driver and passanger were climbing out of the car. Both were unhurt, it was father and son with the 16 y/o son driving at 159mph. The car was brand new still had the paper licence plate and it was totaled parts everywear.
This is what happened he was comeing up the drag strip part of the track to turn one where it is a little off camber and there is a transation in the pavement. He was doing 150mph (so dad said) and the backend started to bumpsteer he let off the gas and the car spun backwards hit the 14' embankment spun 360deg hit the bank again then lanched through the trees over the fence landed upside down then fliped on its wheels and came to a stop. Thats when they climbed out as me and my son came running up.
What a trip they were ok but went to the hospital for a check up.
The dad said oh well its just a car the ins. will pay for it. I told him that they will not pay because he was on the race track at the time of the accident and his son did not have a drivers licence.
