(Photos by D. Troy Turner) These photos are awesome, and we can’t thank Troy from Outlaw Photography enough for sending them to us. This could be the most epic Camaro crash ever. While at King of the Hammers last month we met Troy Turner who is the guy behind Outlaw Photography. Besides being a great tour guide, Troy showed me some really cool stuff that he had shot, including this amazing sequence of photos that had never been shown outside of Instagram. When we saw them, we cringed, gasped, almost cried, and sat in awe at the amazing acrobatics that this once nice 1969 Camaro was capable of. Could this be the most epic Camaro crash ever?
This sequence was shot during the 2014 NASA Western States Championships at Sonoma Raceway, aka Sears Point. The driver was running time trials during the morning and came into turn 11 just a wee bit hot and backed it into the wall. Troy said “I heard it before I saw it and my normal-photographer reaction was to get the lens on the action ASAP… I whipped it over and held the shutter wide open, all I saw was dirt flying then the red #69 Camaro rising from the dust, upside-down…”
Check out all the photos below. We threw in a couple of it before the flipping and crashing started just to make you feel worse about what you are seeing. Uggghhhhhh
That will buff right out.
O.K. now. We know the limit, next time brake a yard or two sooner for that corner.
At least it’s the same number on the car if it’s right side up or upside down. Gotta hand it to the guy for thinking ahead.
That’s the big Deal???
While it is a nice car — — —
It’s just a Camaro, aren’t there a Brazilian more just like it, .. .. ..
and they’re making more everyday
Same car different crash. Maybe the dude needs a different hobby

Coming to a Copart near you……
It’s pretty clear by the pictures and supplied video link,……lack of talent leads to an expensive repair bill. Glad it’s his check book and not mine.
Awesome shots Troy!! So proud to call you my son………..
High performance car, low performance driver. Not a good combo.
