WOW...The one guy didn't even have on his seatbelt!

How is it possible that after electricity has traveled through hundreds of miles of power line then hundreds of feet (or yards) of romex in our home, that changing the last three feet of wire with something exotic, expensive (cool looking, and packaged in a pricey box) is going to make a difference?

Radial tires, had they been around back then, would have meant a lot less 'fun'.

Seems like a 3rd of the cars were VW Beetle's fliping around.  I started to cringe when the Beetle convertible with 4 people started to lose control.

There's a recent video of a 911GT3 flipping on the same curve.

I wonder if this was at the end of a long straight and the vehicles involved all had their brakes fade into oblivion.
