Story: the car ramped up the tire wall, then nose-dived into the turf and flipped lengthwise. The bolted-in roll cage didn't have big enough floor plates and they punched through the floor, completely failing to provide protection to the occupants! Somehow, neither driver nor passenger sustained injury!
Bolt in cage Just another reason why you shuoldn't skimp on safety equipment if you plant to go on ANY track! Take a good look at pciture #8. |

Looks like it happened at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit in Oklahoma. Coming over the rise coming into the "Bitch" turn. He must have hit the alligators at the top of the rise and lost it. Easy to do there......Have instructed there lots of times. He ramped through two tire walls and catch fence. That is a blind rise and you've got to get lined up just right coming over the top....OR things go wrong fast...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
