Yes very sad indeed. Burnouts can get out of hand so fast. I always worry about this happening during the cruise with everyone doing burn outs on the street.

I have always figured someones throttle would stick and it would be someone that couldn't take care of it as fast as they need to.

Here is a news room video link. This is quite something to see.

I thought for sure he didn't do a long burnout like that. That was just crazy. Looks like there was a guardrail for most of it. Except were he lost it.

its a very dangerous thing to bring that much power and put it on a public road that isnt prepped for a car like that, the burn outs are cool but he probably shouldnt have been rolling that fast or at all, but either way even sitting still it could have caught and launched sideways. Kinda makes you think what could happen when james brings his dragster to the burn out here, being that we have NO type of guardrails just some orange fence......very very sad
