He's ran the Baja 1000 and drove in the Lucas Oil Off Road series this year. He also has some expirence in other forms of motorsports, figure 8, drifting, etc. I don't think he'd lower the track record, but I think he could keep it on all 4 wheels...

I just seen some photos of him getting his Hennesy 1,000 hp twin turbo Ford GT towed out of a ditch in Texas.

I've never had a problem with wealthy people blowing money on racing related things. Whether its him or the next greatest "daddy's money" racer, the equipment gets recycled eventually.

He hurt himself pretty badly in a late model at Irwindale a few years back.

I think that was a figure 8 car and he got hit in the center crossover.

I think that was on TV, if it's the one he got hurt in.
