was this the same car that set the record last year?

 

No, the car that cartwheeled is a GSL-TT.

 

Glad to hear reports that the driver is okay!

 

The driver is very very lucky to walk away from such a crash! The pics of it flipping are quite nasty.

we should all be careful about high speed driving.

 

The car that wrecked yesterday was the orange Gallardo SL TT (Underground built) that went 250 this past spring - owned by Richard Holt, aka the #13 car in the video below.

Not to be confused with Kyles (Top Gun Customz) orange Gallardo (non Superleggera) TT - also an Underground built car, but no relation.

AtomicZ was there and said Richard was fine, but the car was toast.

I'm glad he's ok.. It take big balls to run > 200mph.. 250'ish has got to be nuts.

From the March 2010 Texas Mile:
YouTube - Underground Racing 250 MPH Twin-Turbo Lamborghini at the Texas Mile

Saturday:

 

The 0013 Holt piloted SL-TT that wrecked is the 250.1mph record holder.

 

So glad to hear Richard is fine. What an epic crash!

 

That's what happens when you increase the power by several folds without paying almost any attention to aerodynamics.

 

Wow sucks about the car being totaled but the driver is ok which is all that matters.
That should buff right out though...
