That tower sure took a lick.
Craziness.

Holy cow that was close!!
Was that a no-prep event?

I never understood the attraction of no-prep, but...

people are paying to watch, and racers are participating and making money, and tracks are making money, so carry on.

Props to the Moron on the ATV that almost ran the Driver over.........and, of course, no helmet like the rest of the Meatheads ripping around at motorsport events posing as "safety" personal. It's kinda too bad he didn't dump it over and smash his head on the track to teach all the Kids in the stands what not to do.

That Mustang Driver is one lucky Fella.

Happened a while back and yes, it was a no prep event.

Kinda like roundy round racing...most spectators are just waiting on the inevitable crash.

I understand the draw to no prep racing, it's exciting to watch and from watching the cars skate around it's pretty exciting to participate in too. The guy in the Mustang is lucky to be alive, if he'd impacted the pole two feet farther forward the outcome could've been very different.

Dude can't drive for [censored]. He about totaled it on the street a month before, when racing Jon Doc.

How fast and quick are they running in the 1/4 mile?
That driver is very lucky in my opinion, the car protected him from injuries

Not sure on the mustang, but the truck is easily a low 8 sec ride. Faster on a prepped surface.

Its a human nature combination of jacked up adrenaline, tunnel vision, and hero need. LEO's have many documented cases with the same similarities inhigh stress first responder incidents.
