driver OK report

FireSale · 08-04-2018, 09:41 AM

There's a shot of the launch over in my photo thread. Roger came down hard from a pretty strong wheel stand and probably snapped something in the front end. He seemed to be kicking up brake dust when he veered right into the right lane barrier. They are not tied down and do move when banged by a 3000 pound stock bodied car. This wasn't a glancing blow, he hit it at a pretty good angle. I think I saw the car bounce before rolling across the lanes to hit the other lane wall. Speed was cut way down but the blocks of concrete moved about the same on both sides. He hit right between them on both sides. Roger didn't do the "Superman" thing and jump from the car. A driver involved in an on track accident is supposed to stay strapped in until medical people attend to him/her. The only exception is fire.

I will stop by the pits this morning and check on Roger's health.

Edit: I have talked to Cobra Jet drivers before and they say they can't see a thing down track from these high wheelies.
