Just saw these pics from a Z driver who wrecked at mid-ohio recently. Apparently only sustained a 'bump to the head'. Wow! Said brake failure, wrecked at about 95mph.

:-o

 

wow. while it is certainly not funny for the driver, it is funny to see how the car just kept going.

 

Wow that's got to be one of the worst I have seen at mid ohio and I only grew up 5 min down the road lol.

 

That cage held well.I give props to the maker it saved that mans life..

 

Great pics of this tragic accident, glad to see the structural integrity of the Z car let this driver live to race another day.

 

Holy BeJeebus Batman!

 

I was hoping you guys wouldnt see this. He must have totally lost his brakes or had the throttle stick wide open or both. My comment on another site was HOLY S***.

The cage looks like one by www.rollcageguy.com who doest great cages, hes located in the Akron, Ohio area.

 

Scary.......

Hey Steve, isn't that the T2 driver that races a lot at waterford? I think he posts on niodetroit

 

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh. photog really captured this mess.
amazing.

 

That AIN'T gonna' buff out!

Amazing pictures.

 

Holy ****! Someone had a high speed camera at the right place, at the right time. That roll cage definitely saved his life. He went thru a barrier fence like it wasn't there and stopped on a secondary fence. Heck, emergency crew had first hand look at the accident. Is he a forum member here?

 

amazing pics. Glad to know the driver is OK. Good thing he had a roll cage in there...

 

Anyone have any other info? What turn? What event was it? Was it a race?

Inquiring minds want to know.

 

Yes. I've seen him at Waterford a few times. Not sure if that is the driver that helped me a little with the line there. I saw his post on the waterford forum with the link to these pics.
Amazing, spectacular, scary, crazy, lucky..

This past weekend.. the back straight before turn 7. Do not know event or race..

 

Thats just crazy, it goes to show how safe racecars can be. At least he is ok
And he made it right over the second fence.. nuts

 

the cabin stayed very well intact. That thing seemed like with would never stop flipping and flying

 

Holy ****, so I driver is ok. Curious about more info too.

 

Hey, I just noticed in the pics the hood crumbled as designed to do. Only thing is I thought it was supposed to break free from the car to avoid injury to the driver.

 

Lucky no spectators were there..... Looks like end of the back straight at MO.
