    Thankfully no. There was a father and son sitting where the Ferrari ended up coming to a rest that had to get out of the way.

    That was a very close call for the people nearby and it is good nobody was hurt. Jason, that shot you got was very good(it is my new desktop).
    Does anyone know how bad the damage was?

    Yikes. He pulled a 911.

    When in doubt, don't lift.

    I think it was one of the guys on LPower...I remember reading a thread somewhere of the guy saying he had to scramble for his life.

    He overcorrected just a tad. I'm glad no one was hurt. The driver must have felt about 1" tall after that.

    Yikes! I guess the 308 is too powerful for some. You expect to see that with cars such as enzos and vipers.

    Yeah... So sad...

    When I read the headline, I was hoping the "Lamarossa" (The car, not the guy) retired to the big woodpile in the sky. :)

    He accelerated out of the curve and lost control.
    Really bad especially considering he had a kid on the car.
    I am sure he tore up the front underside of his car going over that curve .

    LOL this is a new level of humiliation!!! Bad enough the people present saw it, but now we all get to look and laugh thanks to the internet.

    Great action shot Jayson. Say what you want abt 308's... but that looked like a nice clean CT car.

    Expect the "parade" rules to change thanks to this tool.
