Confirmed: 2 broken ribs, broken clavicle and a broken wrist. Clavicle had surgery on it and it went good.
Based on the description of the wreck, I think Randy is very fortunate. I'll take broken bones over other things any day. |

Lots of folks are pulling for him, just got the same update from someone else. I am so glad that Randy always went the extra yard on everything, safety, performance components of the car, etc. I hope you have a speedy recovery Randy. |

Don't know Randy but glad to hear he is okay. Sounded like a scary crash and God defintitly was there to protect him from serious injury. Makes me think twice about open tracking without a cage, window net and harnesses.
Here is to a speedy recovery :cheers: |

Here's another description of Randy's crash, from http://www.v8supercarswest.com/
Saturday’s race began at 11:30 am with all eyes on the battle between Randy Mackintosh in the #35 Chevy Camaro, Andy Sutak, and Connie Bogan. The green flag flew and the drag race down the front straight kept Andy Sutak in the lead with Randy Mackintosh and Connie Bogan on his heels. Filip Trojanek in the #55 Wyotech Mustang and Bryan MacMillan in the #44 Mustang followed close behind the leaders raging their own battle. The three front runners pulled ahead of the rest of the group running clean 1:55:00 laps until lap 4, when Andy Sutak had a sad break (no pun intended) and slowed to pull off track on the back straight with a differential failure. With Andy out of the lead, Randy took control with Connie breathing down his neck looking to strike. They made it around to turn 9 where Randy made a pass around a GT1 car between 9 and 10 and was struck in the right rear quarter causing his car to dart right sharply and strike Kip Olson’s #49 Super Production NSX that was limping along with a mechanical failure. Kip’s car spun off track as Randy had little time to brace himself for a wild ride. The Camaro shot off the track with the front end diving into soft dirt then immediately launching the car thirty feet into the air end over end. Randy must have rotated 7 times before coming to rest on the hillside upright - a shockwave rippled through the group. The red flag was thrown and the race ended while we all looked on to see if our fellow racers were safe. Kip was able to walk away from the accident but Randy suffered 6 broken bones and a concussion. It is never something you want to see happen, but it is a testament to Randy and his dad Doug that the car was properly built and the safety gear performed under such an impact. It was also impressive to see the professional SCCA medical crew and course workers spring into action. We spoke to Randy today and happy to hear he is on the mend. We hope to see him back on the track soon. Edit by TB to fix link.
