-Sticking throttle
-No cage
-No Harnesses, not even a functional OEM seat belt
-Faulty ignition
-You jumped out of the car
All signs point to a severe lack of common sense, and concern for your own safety.
I can only hope you learned alot about motorsports safety from this experience.

Just read back through the post.
Let me add no helmet to the list as well.
How exactly were you and the car even allowed to make a pass? Is it common practice to ignore safety regulations at redline? Im sure their insurance company would be real happy if they knew the truth about this one.
I would not have been dumb enough to put my *** in that car.

This was a disaster waiting to happen, running that fast and no safety devices is crazy, if you would have been killed the track would have been sued. You choose to not have the required safety devices, but the track should have turned you away before you ran. Safety is the most important thing in everyday life, im sure you learned your lesson and next time you venture out to the track you will have the appropriate safety devices

Man, you know... If you go down to the end of that track, you can turn left before the trees and kinda go out in a field...
Maybe check out how you get off the track before you get back on it?

Like i said,I didnt have a roll cage and my seatbelt wasnt working for some reason.I dont think its smart to try and turn left at 130mph.And by the way smartass i know how to get off the track but let me say it one more time,MY THROTTLE WAS STUCK.Making this thread was pointless,i was trying to let others know how important safety is,but some of yall want to just talk ****.Ive been racing at redline for a long time,it doesnt matter.Some people think they will do this or do that in the heat of the moment but whatever.Im still here so thats all that matters to me.

The ONLY part of the story that I believe is that the car got wrecked.
Vids, or the dramatic on track jump didn't happen.
I ask anyone who believes this to try opening their door at 70 mph and see what happens.

I could say a great many things that you COULD have done, but thats under the bridge you jumped like steven seagall in a damn action movie and now have a sweet *** story to tell your kids, and some scars to prove it
Other than that yea car was a freaking death trap I'm glad you learned your lesson.
