Wow, I don't know what I'd do after that. I'd either be amazingly happy that I was still alive, or really depressed that I had just shredded my car...

Wherever that thing was being raced at, the track officials need to be fired. That heap of junk should have never passed tech inspection. For the seat to fly out like that alone he should have been sent packing. But yea, he was lucky.

i agree with it not passing Tech. pluse if ya look at the hood and the way the front end came apart it makes me wonder if it was stub framed in the nose. if this si the case it would have throwen the alimnet off.

but either way he should have had more smarts to at least bolt that seat in better then that.

glad to see he is still alive. but i would defently not wat to have been his wofe after she seen that LOL

This video (once an 8mm movie) was taken years ago.

Track standards weren't what they are today. And you can't judge what once was by today's standards.

I believe what I've heard about this video is either a tire blew or came loose and that caused the accident.
