richard holtz was approaching 240 when he opened his chute, the head/cross wind caught it and swung him around and he lost controll, running into the field and fliping his car nose over end a couple times before parts started flying into the air. i saw it but wasnt recording unfortunantly

I've got to make it out to the next one. it looks like an amazing thing to see in person. do they let anyone in anything make a pass or are there requirements/limits?

Maybe this will be a lesson for future events, when there is that much wind its probably not a good idea to run. Seems like the wind is wreaking havoc on the cars

I'm sure pics will pop up on the lambo before too long. We got a few but going to wait to see what they tell us to do with them. May be going to lawyers/insurance. I was helping pick up the pieces. All I know is he did 235, chute came out and less than a second later he was cartwheeling through the infield. Guy was fine but went to hospital as a precaution as SW's suggestion I'm told. Cage definitely did it's job.

So as far as insurance is concerned is running at the mile the same as being on a drag strip and wrecking? aka not covered?
