    Default SVRA Sunday race wreck

    Anyone know what happened and if everyone is OK from the Indy SVRA Sunday race start? Must have been 6-8 cars involved.
    Thanks Wes

    That's my video above. Bill Styczynski's Vortech had a problem getting into 4th, which started the chain reaction. I thought I was past it, but Mike Landon in the white Wasp was hit and came across the track, hitting the red and white FST and I had turned instead of hitting them. Landon's steering was probably damaged in the first impact, which meant he couldn't prevent coming across the track. He went to the hospital, everyone else was ok.

    YIKES !!!
    You can walk away from these hits...but they DO hurt like hell.
    As I found, spinning off the kink at RA.
    CONCRETE DON'T GIVE !!
    Glad everyone is okay.

    Default crash

    I was in the black Brakeometer(R) #11 FST. I went over a rear tire with my rear wheel and landed straight the was tagged in the rear by someone and turned into the outside wall . I'm fine just a little sore but lots of work to fix my car.

    P.S. Apparently everyone was released from medical in good condition. Hope nothing appears later. Doc told me I had pretty low blood pressure for my age . I said I bet its a lot lower than my wife's at that point.
