The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/texas mile">Texas Mile</a> had scary moment last weekend when a twin-turbocharged <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/gallardo">Lamborghini Gallardo</a> built by <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/underground racing">Underground Racing</a> left the track at well over 100 mph. Driver Richard Holt was attempting to pilot the machine to a new standing mile world record, though once his parachute opened to slow the car, the Lamborghini veered off of the course, clipped a small wall and catapulted end over end. Miraculously, Holt walked away from the incident after being cut free from the wreckage by rescue workers. He was later observed at a local hospital before being released. <br />
<br />
Reports peg the modified Gallardo as packing somewhere between 1,500 and 1,900 horsepower. Holt actually passed the mile marker at 235 mph and it's suggested that a crosswind is to blame for the sudden change of direction upon the chute's deployment. Accidents like this one underscore the value of conducting high-speed runs in authorized locations with plenty of rescue workers on hand. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/26/video-lamborghini-gallardo-twin-turbo-crashes-at-texas-mile/#continued">Hit the jump</a> to watch a video of the entire run.<br />
