Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Z Cars / August 2003350 Z driver killed racing his vehicle on the streets...
As a Z owner, I am sad to report to you that, here in Las Vegas last night, a gentleman who was driving a new 350 Z had the unfortunate urge to race his vehicle on the local streets after leaving a drinking establishment. He was racing 2 other drivers who were unharmed. Apparently the 350z driver lost control of his vehicle and went off the embankment. Please be careful in your rocket machines, and drive responsibly! I know how hard the urge is to "put the petal to the metal", but nowadays , most cities have tracks the the local public can use for racing purposes. so I guess all those air bags wasn't up to speed. no pun intended. ummm any articles or anything like that? weird question... but... what color was the car? > As a Z owner, I am sad to report to you that, here in Las Vegas last > night, a gentleman who was driving a new 350 Z had the unfortunate urge [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > but nowadays , most cities have tracks the the local public can use for > racing purposes. airbags wouldn't have helped, he flipped like 5 times, hit four or five other vehicles and just generally demolished that poor car. from the pics in the paper you could not tell what it was. the story i read didn't state what kind of nissan he was driving. i was hoping it was a maxima or something. http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2003/Aug-05-Tue-2003/news/21875757.html Laura >airbags wouldn't have helped, he flipped like 5 times, hit four or five >other vehicles and just generally demolished that poor car. from the pics [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Laura From the paper: "Lindsay's Nissan 350Z was racing a BMW and a Honda when he careened off Bermuda Road" Wonder why they felt the need to identify the model of Nissan but not of the BMW and Honda? Would it have changed the story if it were just a Nissan, BMW, and Honda? "Moments later, the three men were racing north on Bermuda at speeds nearing 80 mph, Moon said." Must not have been a very good race! 80mph is close to normal driving speed around here in a 55mph zone. > From the paper: > "Lindsay's Nissan 350Z was racing a BMW and a Honda when he careened [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Must not have been a very good race! 80mph is close to normal driving > speed around here in a 55mph zone. Bermuda road is all of 1 1/2 blocks long (if that) and is, I believe, either a DG or dirt road (been a real LONG time since I've been out there). The speed limit is maybe 25 or 30 MPH. How they managed to get to 80 on that road in that short a distance I find amazing, but then again, nothing that drunks do tends to amaze me anymore.

I'll never forget a T-shirt that I saw some imbecilic redneck wearing one time at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It read: Instant a.shole, just add alcohol! Truer words have never been printed. S.T. |
