Oh man, that's rough. That car wasn't built for any fast cornering. Just going straight and doing wheelies.

Re: A RIDE JAY LENO WON'T FORGET

Rule #1. Hands and arms stay INSIDE the car at all times.

A hand on the roof like Jay had at any HPDE, AutoX, or other road race even would be immediate grounds for a Black Flag.

He is very lucky, he barely kept his arm inside the car once it started rolling.

Jay has enough money to get it rebuilt a few times.

Re: A RIDE JAY LENO WON'T FORGET

Jay should hold onto his shoulder belts, if he rides with anyone else.

Re: A RIDE JAY LENO WON'T FORGET

It suck's when you ride with someone else that's driving fast and you sit there on the passenger side and have no control of anything. When we were kids we used to intentionally scare the bajeebers out of each other. I still sometimes do that though.
