The most embarrasing thing I've ever seen at the track happened at the local redneck 1/8 mi. track we have here in the Shenandoah Valley, VA.
To preface, the track is a SBRA (Southern Bracket Racing Association) track, so people get eliminated pretty quickly and usually just leave after they're done.
Well, some punk in an S10 pickup, presumably with a 350, gets eliminated early. Rather than exiting gracefully, this idiot drives back down the return lane like a jerk, spinning tires, revving, etc. Keep in mind the staging lanes and exit road wrap around the stands and track in a large "U."
This guy then proceeds to act like a total dumba$$ and roast the tires going out the exit lane, which is a narrow 2-lane strip of asphalt that leads out to the main gate and exit. Going around a slight right-hand turn the guy floors it, the a$$ end gets light and he loses it. The truck swings back around, leaves the road and slams broadside into a tree. All 500+ spectators were watching the whole thing unfold and everyone erupted into a roar of laughter.
The guy was so embarrased/pissed that he didn't even get out to survey the damage, he just tore off out of the track. I've never laughed so hard in my life -- it's guys like that who make driving a turbocharged Dodge Colt so much fun.
