So you're a tough guy and swear that your big power fox body doesn't need a roll cage. It's just a street car you say? You wouldn't want to be hassled climbing in and out of the car? It only goes to the track once in a while...
Take a close look at this and reevaluate your attitude... Somehow this guy survived this crash yesterday. This happened at Phoenix City Dragway, AL ( an 1/8 mile track ) that had no EMT on standby. The car crossed the traps going 5.98@115 (equates to a 9.0 1/4 mile car) when the driver lost control, cause of the accident is unknown to me. The only safety equipment that the car had was the factory seat belts... Are you kidding me???
It is far to easy to make a lot of horsepower with these cars and this should be a reminder that the right safety equipment goes a long way. While this guy is extremely lucky, the next person that pulls this same stunt may be a candidate for the Darwin award. Ask yourself, can you put a price on safety? Do you want to race at a track that doesn't have an EMT on site?
Rant over... Please comment
