Wow and wow. That is so scary to watch. Can't imagine being there.

You are exactly right.... you can't spend TOO much on safety equipment if you are doing stuff like this.

I googled that accident after watching the vid yesterday. Found more info on it including a comment that the racepack data acquisition system recorded the impact to the wall at 11g's... wow.

And this is drag racing. My biggest fear was always no brakes at the end of the straightaway doing 120. Yeehaaw
