If you've ever taken your RV over the nasty curves of Arizona State Route 88 out of Apache Junction, and on through Tortilla Flats, you'll know it's not a highway for the faint-of-heart. Last November a young local fellow took his shiny BMW, equipped it with a video cam, and tried his hand at a little road racing.
The video, released last week, relates a heart-pounding, head-banging experience of running your car off the road and over a cliff. Nobody seriously hurt -- other than the insurance company. Nah, don't show it to your teenage drivers as a precautionary tale, they'll just want to know where they can try it!

I have been on that road many times. I know exactly where he went off. There is a 25 mph corner that he didn't make. Hopefully he learned a lesson.
Looks like a video game
Since he was racing I doubt his insurance company will cover the loss. He'll have to eat it.
His insurance will probably pay up without a problem. He was/is an idiot going waaay too fast, but its not a timed racing event, not a track, no awards, just a incredibly stupid guy. He will have a difficult time trying to buy auto insurance for many years and might be driving old chevettes and pintos for the next 10 years. That in itself is punishment. Amazing how that BMW is destroyed yet I imagine he walked away.
Definately exceeded his driving skills. Glad I wasn't meeting him head on around the corner.
