That was one of the worst impacts I had ever seen for sure!

That was one of the worst impacts I had ever seen for sure! YIKES! That is a little more than what I estimate my impact to be at. Hope she is alright! What happened to the car? What kind of car? What happened?

That was one of the worst impacts I had ever seen for sure! YIKES! That is a little more than what I estimate my impact to be at. Hope she is alright! What happened to the car? What kind of car? What happened? Karen Salvaggio, one of our FFR Cobra regulars out west, was competing at the Nationals at Mid Ohio and in practice her steering wheel came off right after the kink on the big straight there. She jammed on the brakes and came to a stop in the cement wall just after the flag stand out there (wierd, yes, there is another one besides the starter stand). There were Cobra parts flying everywhere, and Karen got life-flighted to the nearest hospital. She had a broken collarbone (reinjury), a chip off her spine in the neck area, and two broken ribs. The ribs were broken on the INSIDE, which is really something you don't hear of much. She went home a day or so after that and recouped. It was amazing to see her at the next region race about one month later! I still have not watched that video...
