Not sure on the causes yet, He is 62 and is pretty sore, shook him up a bit and frightened the hell out of his wife and grandkids who were also there.
He hasn't raced in a long time but used to run a B/MP car nationally in the 70's after returning from vietnam.
Compared to the first message i received from his wife, very dramatic, the second one from him, played down the accident. He is a very hardy guy anyway.
Car has ran 12.81 at 110.
