Hey guys, just thought I'd pass this along. the footage of my wreck starts at the 29 second mark

dammmmmmmmmmmmm, when was this????

That first guy cartwheeling out of the stadium reminds me of the sprint race I went to. One of the drivers tried to come up into the stands. Luckily, he hooked the rail that protects the flag guy (who ducked to avoid decapitation ) and stayed hanging on the wall.

That's crazy. I love sprint cars, you never what's going to happen.

Wow that SOUNDS really cool..the video is pretty good too...I used to hang around a speedway track when I was a kid..even worked there selling drinks for awhile..then ended up as a crew member for a few teams. The worse wreck I saw a guy lost both his feet at the ankle..just two really nice driving shoes lying there..but with the feet still in them..

Reminds me of the only time I ever got to Ascot to see the CRA sprints run. Awesome, still have Brad Nofsinger's autograph on a shirt somewhere.

funny, there were actually about half a dozen usac/cra cars there that night because calistoga had their usac show the next two nights which is about an hour away. this happened on the 4th of september. I crushed my T4/T5 vertebrae and spent the next week in the hospital, I'm in a torso/neck/head brace for the next couple months and out of work til xmas or so.

You know, there are easier ways to get time off of work. Glad you're ok

Dang that sucks. Hopefully you'll be healed up before the new toys at christmas.

I'm waiting to see what the doctors say, I do however, think that was it for non wing sprint racing, it's just a little violent when it goes wrong and to be honest, I was working my tail off with side jobs and what not to feed the thing$$$ If the doc's say it's cool then I'll probably get back in a dirt mod or a super stock

Dang dude, that was quite the tumble. Glad to hear you are "relatively ok".

How about the car?
