sucks you had to use the safety gear like that but good to hear that it worked so well!

Is there a video to prove that it happened on the track? For all we know, your fancy graphics were pealing off and you pushed the car off the trailer to get new graphics.

Thanks all. The car will be up and running hopefully sooner than later. For those with morbid curiosity, here's the video. Only impact, not events preceding. 1) I don't want to call out the other driver publically as that shows no class, 2) Dont feel like a hearing a lot of armchair quarterbacking. I've reviewed the video a dozen times and done enough of it myself.

Ouch. I saw 4gs at impact and the movement of your head which tells me to re-install and use the center net in the car. I am also ordering resin Today to make a seat insert for Carolyn.

and one more thing, parade p!$$er.

Sorry to learn of your trouble but glad to know that you are ok.

Sad to see. Ryan always races hard, but fair

Ouch. Sorry to see this. Good work getting the hands off the wheel.

Head containment (halo or similar) should be as mandatory as a HANS. It really does work. Good luck getting it all back together.

Ryan, thanks for posting this.

I bet this was more than 4 Gs but not too much. I think it ramped up and down faster than update speed.

Folks will do well to watch this in super slow mo and then go look at the seat and gear in their track car. Note how far Ryan displaced in and out of the seat. Halo did little as the entire seat simply flexes and dumps him. Dumping does not reduce or spread out the G load it makes it spikey and more harmful.

Nothing like being a rag doll. Sorry to see the off, but glad to hear you are fine. Car can be fixed.

Amazing how much the seat/gear moved.
