Nick Bollea injured in car crash
SCM BREAKING NEWS!!
It seems that Nick (”Hogan”) Bollea son of the Great Terry “Hulk” Hogan was in a car accident Sunday night in St. Petersburg around 7:30pm. He was driving with a passenger and lost control of of his Toyota Supra and hit the median going airborn backwards into a tree. He and his passenger were airlifted to a local hospital with Nick in serious condition and the passenger in critical condition. When you see the crash photos you’ll know why! It’s truly gruesome vechicular carnage. The link below has a slide show of photos.

No details yet on Supra but considering his status and access to financial resources, one can only imagine a 2JZ motor with a very large turbo and all the compulsory mods. We will look for details on the cars setup but as for the crash, we’ve all seen boost control glitches cause serges that can send a car out of control as can clutch problems (try throwing a high-boosted car into 2nd instead of 4th and see the result!)
Invariably, all of the trash talkers (and freaks) come out at night and the comments of “Poor little rich boy”, or “That’s what happens when you have more car than ability”, etc.,etc. We have one word L-A-M-E!! >:( It’s a HUMAN being that got hurt here and YOU DON’T know WHY it happened… I’ve lost control of my car trying to avoid a blown retread (did a 180 slide) but I was on a 5 lane highway and saved it just before hitting the guard rail.
And then for the other trolls, Nick is one of the PRO drivers on the NOPI Drift circuit running a tuned Dodge Viper. We shot him at the Miami Drift event and he was one of the few that never hit a wall. I’d say he knows a little something about driving at the limit. So get the facts before you assume things (we all know the saying)
Let’s just all wish him and his passenger well and a speedy recovery.
I just was told Toyota is in the process of recalling most vehicles as a result of braking problems . My brother bought a Prius, can the car be used before the recall?
