55 Chev crashes vs Camaro, the drivers legs come through the windshield !!
Crazy crash, I'm guessing he didn't have a 5 point harness on !

Whoa! From my drag racing experience that "track" doesn't appear to be prepped properly which caused the traction issue or one or both. Hard to tell if 55 was swerving to avoid the camaro or had traction issues too. Also, the 55 owner claims he had racing seatbelts he installed himself. Don't think he installed them correctly.

Track prep, or lack there of, definitely was a big contributing factor here. Thankfully no one was seriously injured. Bummer deal.

Thanks for sharing. This is crazy and going to be viral very soon. Guy is lucky to walk away from that. His legs sticking out when the car went right-side up was almost comical.

That was the pit lane at Pikes Peak Int'l Raceway...and NOT prepped.
'55's seat belt anchor apparently snapped... |
