    Scary stuff. But just look at how the cage appears completely intact. Glad to hear he's ok.

    even when i was circle track racing, i refused to build my own roll cages. i know my limitations. i can get 2 pieces of metal to stick together, but i wouldn't trust my life on it. :)

    Not a pretty sight...glad he's ok...I wonder what the actual cause of control loss was
    I'm starting to ponder these things a little more now.
