Randy, very sorry to hear about the accident, very glad to hear you came out of it as well as you did.
Not to divert the direction of this thread, but everyone please take a moment to look at your racecars and safety gear. Look at it to see not only is everything is good, but also what you can do to make it better.
After the wreck of another board members car at T-hill about a year ago(he walked away too), I had Alan upgrade my cage to improve it based on lessons learned there, and we added a Wilwood column, and a full containment seat.
After my big wreck at the 25 (T-boned at 100-110mph) and I walked away (although the survive the 25 show said I was knocked out which was incorrect, I had a concussion though) I again had Alan look at what we could do to improve safety again, and he converted my driver side cage to a NASCAR COT design, with both high impact foam, and intrusion protection plates.
I don't know all of the people on this board, but accidents happen, and I want to always hear our members walked away or with an absolute minimum injuries.
Racing is dangerous, but we all can do things to ensure the best chances of survival, and lower the risks of injuries.
I implore everyone to always look at safety improvements they can make to their cars, and gear.
I hate doing this with limited information:, Update: Randy is okay- bruised and broken bones
