+1 That would be a wild video! I thought for sure he died when I read the title..They knew what they were doing when they built the roll cage, head and neck support!

That would be why I will never assist in ANY cage work for anyone... one false weld or weak joint and he wouldn't be here... great work by the guys who built that car!!!

Solid work on that cage!

Glad to see the driver came out alive, albeit banged up.

F-Bodies belong at that speed if they are built right! I've heard these runs are done on some terribly bumpy tarmac, though. This one bottomed out and swung around.
