Thank goodness it happened at an 1/8th mile track.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

The driver was EXTREMELY lucky to survive that crash at all, let alone walk away from it.
Gone to the dark side with an LS3 powered '57 Chevy 210

And the 10.5 thing is big, great when track is perfect but, when its not ..
Crashing here is normal, that an big wheelstands that result in smashed pans , etc
I hate to see anyone wreck. But this only reinforces my dislike for the 10.5 classes. They seem unsafe to me.
I agree 100%. It always seemed a very risky was to achieve equality. Many of them are amazing. This guy may be as well. But, there are always the ones who think aborting a run is gay. Too much "fast and furious" macho attitude going around. I saw a crash "AFTER" a wheelstand that caused him to cross the center line. He felt the need to get back in it. The car never settled down for the needless re-hit and he bounced off both walls. That ain't macho, that's stupid. It's the wrong mindset for a serious race car driver to have.
