Re: Mid-Ohio Nissan Crash
I think: "REALLY FAST"!!!!!!!!!! I think he ended up some 500 feet off the line on the track!!

The momentum was spent over the lengths of flips...
If he had smacked into something solid I think it would speak more of the cage construction...

Re: Mid-Ohio Nissan Crash
Do you think if he actually hit the gravel pit straight on... it would slow him down enough? What about hitting the gravel pit and slamming the e-break?
