Wow, the instructor in the Viper acted pretty cool and calm like it was just another day at the office. Souned like they hit pretty good, I bet the driver had the shakes for the rest of the day.

theres the first vid as a direct link if you want to save it without kazaa... its 5.27mb.
and yea, that is wild.
esp since i race a convertible, with no rollbar.
it'll get one eventually..... just not right now.

I'm gald I've never had anything bad happen to me. I'm getting really close to 11's now and should get one as soon as possible. I've put off racing for a couple of months for even more speed. Should do 1 more month to get the cage. Where's a good spot in Either Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Waco, Or DFW area to get one done?

hmm.. if i totaled my car i might as well be dead, i know id prolly want to be... but regardless... i guess its time to put a 6 point cage in. One thing i know ill be getting is a fire extinguisher.. i had a fire in my brand damn new z28 once i put in the n2o.. had a switch short out and burn up the carpet.. it happened at the lights no less.. i left before the other guy even fully staged and put the fire out with my hand going down the track and back to the pits lol.. so even for those who dont need a cage yet, a lil fire extinguisher could save a lot of interior damage or burns on ur hand.
In that 1st vid it's like that guy never lifted at all, the way he hit that wall.
I know things happen fast but it seemed like the guy stayed in it the whole time. Maybe the throttle got stuck open somehow?

I had a roll bar install in my Camaro when I was running 12s after a little tie in with the concrete in my Mustang. I wouldn't race without a roll bar.
