Damn..........Did the phrase "JANE, GET ME OFF THIS CRAZY THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" come to mind with the open wheelers for anybody else?
as bad as some of them crashes look you got to remember the hundreds of thousands of dollars that are put in the safety of the driver. now bike racing is another story...there just crazy! i would probably say that 85% of the drivers in that vid where able to walk away.
coming from some one who drag races and road races, at times it seams to get retarded with all the new safety regs. mostly with drag racing...in the past year the safety regs have almost doubled since Erick Meddlin's death, john force's sever crash, and Scott Kalitta death this year.
i 100% know the hazards of racing but that is also why i have spent around $3000 on safety gear for my car, and that's about the minimum for the classes i race. but there is NOTHING that can compare to the adrenaline rush of doing 140mph around a 13mile road course.
That is ture to a point, but the drive can still get killed in one of those cars. But itsn't is just crazy that we can make a car that can with stand a crash at 100mph or more and the drive can walk away?
Ive seen crashes like that in r/c at the track, sportsman truggy...lol
lol, being that I am mostly around 10th scale RC, they just break right away, and then they almost stop right away. But there is times that the on-road cars catch some air from hitting a cornner dot, and crash top first in to the boards.
