Daaaaamn... That sucks.

It's incredible how easily that happened too... Kind of scares me to take my baby out on the track, haha. I can't even imagine that happening to my R.

Luckily he had a cage, although it should have had some padding on it..

I think I've seen this one before, but subscribing for home viewing nonetheless.

Is this the one where he tries to restart the car at the end?

He over shot the exit through that turn, hit the rumble box, and went into the wall kind of sideways... Like I said, it's incredible how easily that happened... **** can go bad fast.

Looks like he went a bit wide, caught the dirt, *** came out and caught, which sent him tumbling.

just goes to show being out on the track is no joke and needs to be taken seriously.

another reason I am looking into the AP bar for Expo.

Everyone attending Expo and other track events, keep the shiny side up.

If that's a Mueller EVO, the guy driving it PROBABLY has a bit of experience, which means he'd be pushing it harder, which means the margin for error decreases. Still, good to be cautious and not think you're an F1 star or something.

&lt;--- Hopes to not have to repeat that too much from the shotgun seat to his students...

at VIR last month i spun (slid sideways, didnt do 360) at the top of the uphill esses at around 95+ MPH. the whole time as we were sliding i was like "yup, we are gonna flip, im ready"... but no flip, just a wild ride sideways with some good controlling by me to end up in the grass on the other side.

i was real lucky that there were no cars behind me.
