How many cars have hit the guard rails or gone off the end of the track there now?

The video I seen. That one lane is probably only 10’ wide or it just looks narrow on video

As Tim Mcamis has said on one of his podcasts. If you go to a track that has guard rails "load your s**t up and go home. It's not a matter of if but when, someone will get killed hitting one"

It's not a matter of if but when, someone will get killed hitting one" Better yet... Don't hit the guard rail or the wall for that matter. And don't race on sketchy tracks with a sketchy car. |

Obviously it's plenty fast to get hurt. I'm really surprised fast cars keep going there. A crash almost every month or so. |

Yes, there is an ambulance at the finish line area. It parks where you get your time slip

This is off to Rick Thomas 3 facebook page. "Pretty banged up but he's gonna be OK. Broken collar bone, a few ribs and some kind of 'breaks' in both legs, but his wife says he'll be able to walk on one the way it is. The have done surgery on one leg but his wife says he's alert and already wanting to go home."
