Jim Greenwood was driving his Corvette in NASA's Hyperfest 12 when he hit a deer...

Pucker factor 10+

 

oh man! scary

 

That saddens me even tho it's a vette

 

poor car

 

I wonder how much of that deer is left

 

Holy cow! Hope he was OK.

 

and that folks is why you wear a full face helmet with the shield closed.

 

Stupid deer.

Least it wasn't a big trophy buck with antlers like spears.

 

How to use a Corvette as a meat tenderizer. F---ing deer on a race course.

 

Deer jerky anyone?

 

just for the forum, that track is Nurburgring-esque in that it weaves through the forest. Apparently this isnt the first time deer have jumped onto the track.

 

Not to hijack this thread but I know how he feels. Back in February I hit a deer at about 60mph on Westbound I-10 outside Junction Tx. That video is just what it was like. My wife and I were okay but the Mustang didn't fare so well.



It did get fixed though, wasn't totaled. Looks as good as it did before the hit.

 

wow! can't believe they didnt total it! That looks like one hell of a hit!

 

The repair shop guaranteed that they could fix it back to original condition and the claims adjuster agreed with them. The insurance company was going to total it anyway and I fought to have it fixed and they wrote the check. Shop did a great job on it.
