At this past weekend's H20 International show in Ocean City, Maryland, it seems the owner of a rare Mexican-import Audi S3 went flippin' crazy. The event is held at a local horse race track just outside of town, and the temptation of rally racing on one of the dirt tracks on site was just too much for the owner of this black S3.

Not only did he kick up a lot of dust sliding sideways around the track, he also decided to evade the local Maryland State Troopers who took off in hot pursuit, doing his best Dukes of Hazzard impression. In hasty retreat from the field, he also sideswiped a vendor's trailer and an unlucky green Volkswagen Jetta, narrowly missing some showgoers.



Out on the road, people are saying he blew a tire and lost the car into an embankment, damaging his own car, one we're guessing he'll have a hard time getting spare parts for, even further. Even worse, posts on this forum say his blood alcohol level was enough to net him a drunk driving charge as well.

The owner recently put the car up for sale on these forums. It seems he'd spent too much money on his trip from Texas to Maryland for the event and was losing his place, forcing the sale. Maybe he just snapped. Live Hard, get arrested harder. We're glad to hear no one was hurt in the process.



Of course, in today's digital world, there's plenty of evidence what transpired, and we've catalogued some of that here. Full H20 International Coverage will run on this site soon, including shots of the car at the event. Unfortunately, we'd left the track by the time this happened. Thanks to those who witnessed it for sharing the experience.

Warning, the videos do include graphic language. NSFW.

I have been in the "VW Scene" for a good 6-7 years now, and in recent years have seen a rediculous increase of people who go to shows just to get drunk, break as many laws as possible, and destroy the hotels.

And people wonder why I hang out with the Subaru folk...
Edit: Found out why it happened, really horrible series of events let up to this

I did search on here, and did not see anything regarding this.
