Hey Mike, sounds like you had a great time. Thanks for sharing your experience! Great photos too!

Stocker, do you know when this happened?

The crash happened around 6pm.

I just read that it happened on Saturday the 9th. I did not arrive until Tuesday. Very sad news. Prayers and thoughts to the family. Thanks.

See how things get out of line. I was under the impression it happened yesterday. I dont get why there is no medivac chopper there. 120 mile ride for an injured racer seems wrong.

I will say that every time a vehical spins or loses power on the track, no less than 3 support trucks are already on route. Even if he refires and continues, they will follow him to the end and talk to him. It is a very close fraternity, and safety is paramount. During tech, they time you with a stopwatch, on how long it takes you to unbuckle and exit the racecar.

I heard about that accident the Sunday after it happened. It sucked hearing about it, especially after the conversation Mike and I had on Saturday, the day OF the accident.

You wanna hear some sweet music! check this out. listen to him spinning the tires at 150mph [URL=<embed src="http://videos.streetfire.net/vidiac.swf?video=eb9f934e-1d97-4723-b66f-9c630033005a" width="428" height="352" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
