Mid-ohio Crash

I might have missed it here on these forums, but man...


I'd think twice about going there after seeing this one, what should be wide open flat grass caused a SERIOUS accident.

Any word on his status?

BTW, what I don't understand is why drivers at this (or any) level would not inspect the fastest part of the track and catch the danger there. Just ask yourself "What if I go off here..." They don't have as much room to complain now after they could have objected before the race.

Of course this is not justification for the track officials leaving the burm there unprotected or Edwards pulling his stunt.

nothing super urgent, life threatening, just emailed him a while back,(knowing he was super busy), need the top spacers for my camber plates, some info on what suspension i'm actually running, ya know, stuff like that.

A contact next week is plenty fine.
