"A 57-year-old man was leaving a collegiate autocross event in Arlington, Texas when he lost control of his $200K aluminum Cobra and landed in a creek. The driver's okay, but this rescue video shows what happened to the car."

Ok. Who was it?

I don't know with certainty, but the owner of the car is apparently a sponsor for UTA's team. It was an interesting event to see everything happen. Thankfully he was safe.

To make it more interesting, it wasn't the owner who flipped it into the creek, as I hear it was one of his employees. Ouch.

more likely an ex employee by now.

Expensive mistake indeed.
