I hit the wall at 170mph and sore! Vids and pics
Lastnight 5-27-11 I was racing at my local track. We had some grudge runs for our local event of "SAIN". On my first pass my car on top the was starting to shake and steering shot out of my hands to the right out of my control.......**** was scary. I believe my rollcage and saftey equipment saved my life. I'm NOT bashing anyone or company products i use. I will continue to use everything that i got on my car now. I have a eg hatch but it will be at the fabrication shop on tuesday for roll cage....... I will not stop racing........I have goals for this year and i will do everything in my power to complete.

Glad you're ok! Cars can be rebuilt. Good luck on the new build.
So what happened? You broke and axle and have a spool and the car pulled towards the wall?

Glad to see you're ok Max, scary stuff.
How tight do you keep your seatbelts? Looked like you were able to move quite a bit as you were looking to the right when the pass side door was open as you were staging? How you feeling today?

Good to see you're still around an able to post the after math. Just posted this on our facebook wall because we see way to many customers trying to go cheap on safety equipment and I'm always trying to tell them its not worth your life.

The video does not show it all, it was wild, I don't think there was anything he could of done. Car literally darted for the wall, put it this way, he was in the left lane and hit the right wall with the drivers side front !!

The main this is that you are OK! It was definitely not what i wanted to see last night... we all know you will be back. You have got to be sore today, so just take it easy. Good luck on your next car.
