But after looking at it again, I notice the seat belt indicator on as well.

This guy was seriously asking for a death wish at this moment...... 134 mph, playing with the phone trying to take pictures, no seatbelt.

Definitely someone with more money than brains.
Yup, guess some of us are really rolling the dice out there...

Just make sure you keep your traction and stability control on for the rest of us, god forbid those were off as well at 134+ mph...[/QUOTE]

Nothing wrong with hitting the track at 134 mph without the traction control engaged. That’s what this car is designed for and why we bought them.

Doing so without 100% of of your attention devoted to concentrating on what you’re doing is stupid and doing so without your seatbelt on can be deadly. Taking f’ing cell phone pictures while at that speed is beyond ignorant and immature.

A tire blowout at speed will almost certainly cause you to lose control without both hands firmly on the wheel at the moment it happens. Even if there’s nothing to hit on the track flipping the car is possible. Without your seatbelt on? Almost certain ejection from the vehicle while flipping.

Just tracking a car alone without wearing your seatbelt is absolutely stupid.
