Glad you guys are safe. I saw this on FB this morning and hoped the shot above was just a photochop!

Cage obviously held up!

Such a scary crash. Kevin your cage did its job and you have two drivers that are alive. Excellent job and sorry about the car.

Here is Paul D's crash, his throttle stuck coming into the first corner. Also wicked scary.

Absolutely insane crash. A friend linked me the video earlier today and I had a sick feeling in my gut watching it. I wasn't 100% sure, but I figured it was the Evo Dynamics car. I can't tell you how glad I am that the cage held up and the occupants made it out alive. KevinD, you can pat yourself on the back because your work just saved two people's lives. I think its pretty hard to argue about your methods when the physical proof of the safety equipment is right there. People can complain about red flags, entry requirements, or whatever, but right now the only thing that matters is two Evo guys are alive through a tragic accident which could easily have killed them. The rest of the *****ing and posturing should probably wait.

Damn that's the 1,400 bhp TT V8 car. Was the driver OK? What a brutal weekend.
