He's lucky he never actually hit the roof until the very end. With that much force even that rollcage would not have saved him from the big pancake-o-nator ...
The guy is lucky to be alive! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Andy |

You don't see that every day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I wonder if it brought out a caution flag. And no........that won't buff out. |

I saw the in car vid....he was already going over before he even hit the sandbox. Kind of freaky, it looked like it had some sort of brake issue. Got twitchy twice on the brakes before the high speed right hander. |

Got twitchy twice on the brakes before the high speed right hander. I wouldn't call it a high speed turn. The end of the straight is a heavy braking zone, probably down to 75mph from 140 or so in that car. One hell of a place to lose the brakes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
