Wow really shows the dangers of motor sport but at the same time the safety that is put in place to protect the drivers. Glad his ok from reading the comments on youtube.

Again, tyres made that worse then if the car had just hit Armco

So sad to see and hopefully it's re shelled and Greg gets back out there.
I think safety needs to be improved on that corner..

yep thats it. that guy turned into the corner wayyy way to early and had too much ego on the first lap if you ask me

Whoever was driving that car had no clue how to drive safetly around the track... as soon as he passed someone under the bridge there you knew he had no clue..as they tell you when you go there..yes its racing... but theres places to pass and others not to.. thats not one of them... looked like every jokey from the road had brought their car that day...you'd never see us mini folk in there... we battle enough with the excells that don't care about crashing...
