No kidding.. those three are great together, I wish him a quickly and (mostly) painless recovery.

Look at it this way.. at least he flipped a car that had complete safety gear, not one of production cars they usually test. Probably saved his life (especially at 300mph)

We just lost a local racer here in ABQ. His 60 something vette hooked left and hit the wall at about 125 MPH and burst into flames. He was in critical condition but improving for a few days, burnt over 90% of his body, up to 3rd degree burns.

Suddenly died about a week afterwards.

Really sad.

This happens at LEGAL racing folks, on tracks that are PREPARED for this at a moments notice, imagine what can happen to you or the ones you hit when you race on the street.
