From what I heard he was pretty much unscathed. He pulled the chutes early and I am sure that made it a better outcome. A few nasty wrecks this weekend across the country. Was a frew wrecks at an NMRA race as well. But the drivers walked away from that one too..

Too bad. I read a report yesterday that said he was ok but banged up. Must have done the right thing and went to the hospital. Those pics on that link make it look like even a harder lick. Wonder what happened.

Charles' car is hurt bad. No, it did not roll, but it came down on top of the wall hard. He is likely done, unless some help shows up. Charles is a low budget guy and was actually depending on doing well at Houston, to continue with some other races. He is widely considered the "Godfather" of Pro/Mod and it will be a shame if he has to quit.

Completely sucks. I hate it when bad luck strikes anyone.
