Check out some of these pics...
the one I am showing you in particular..is the Black turbocharged Audi GT race car...upside in the corkscrew at Laguna. I was on track with Ken that day...when he had brake issues..and he rolled...I was right behind him when this happened..when I went by...he was hanging upside by his harness...the more important fact...Ken Bennett is a paraplegic with only partial use of his legs. He sorta waved to me..acknowledging that he was ok.
  More pics found here... http://www.2bennett.com/body_actionpics.html

I am glad he was ok! Thanks for this very sobering reminder. We all need to be very careful out there...

Yeah..everyone gets hyped up about this stuff..but it can be very sobering. I still HIGHLY recommend going to a high performance driving event and improving your skills..but dont overdo it folks...this is your street car...not a race car with roll cages 5 or 6pt restraints...fire suppression systems...etc.
I was on track one day when two guys died three turns ahead of me. Collided at about 85-90 mph...at a 90 degree angle. Be safe out there
