This is not in the least bit safe, I'm still wondering why it wasn't flipped over.

were you guys on your way to julian?

It was a casino canyon run the z32 guys do once a year. They take the back roads from chula vista ( telegraph canyon) to viejas casino in alpine

this looks like hwy 94 where i go riding with my biker buddies..glad he came out alive..not a lot of rider had same luck..

danggg.... 40 mph doesnt sound right for some reason to get it to roll unless he lost control in the dirt or something.

I'm sure he rolled when he went up the bank. You don't need to carry too much speed for a lazy roll if you slide into an earth bank.

ilive2win · 07-19-2010, 11:05 AM

all i saw was a huge dust cloud caused by his right rear tire and we came around the turn and it was rolled. so ya he def hit a lot of loose gravel

I don't understand, wouldn't loose gravel have made it skid? Was his car heavily modded? if he had a lot of parts, he could probably get a decent amount of money back. z32's themselves aren't really worth that much anymore, but if he can part out what he had that wasn't damaged, he could make out OK.

ilive2win · 07-19-2010, 02:31 PM

no, it wasnt heavily modded and it was NA. i think what had happen was he started to take the turn too wide, the right rear tire hit loose gravel which threw his right rear tire into the dirt, almost like an unplanned drift. i THINK he over corrected and lost it and spun out backwards into the inside bank which then hit the inside bank just right backwards which then rolled the car over slowly. he was already rolled over when me and the gtr were going into the turn and held up by the toyota. i think thats what happen but i just saw the dirt kicked up by the rear right tire so dont quote me on this, but you can see in the pix that he went into the inside bank backwards

-he was running bfgoodrich g-force tires-
