100mph wreck!

Incident happened last fall. Couldn't post right away due to insurance reasons. Just in case (ya know).
Happened on the track right before the finish line. The previous car was leaking engine coolant. Right when I shifted to 4th gear the car fishtailed and I crossed the other lane and hit the left wall.
Incident left me with some bruising and small cuts on my neck from the seat belt. Flashbacks are actually more painful. All airbags deployed except front passenger.
Proven that our G37 is a very safe car. But I wouldn't suggest people to try this at home.
knowing how good the car is, I bought me another whitey. Sedan xS 7AT. No more winter hibernation.
I think I could say it's a happy ending.

So were you able to dupe the insurance company into paying a claim for this? What did you tell them happened?

I know there's a lot of safer car out there. But this one is proven.

i doubt that was at 100 mph. I've seen wrecks at 80 mph and the cars are in MUCH worse shape than that.

I've seen worse wrecks doing 40 mph. But what car was involved? I'm sure things would been different if hit a pole or a 100 yr old tree.
I was on top of 3rd gear going to 4th. Redline @ 8k.
Take away some mph while I was sliding it should be around there rounding it off. They said I ran a13.23 but nobody could recall how fast I was going.
