Very sad. Looks like the configuration of the track made the difference. There’s just no room for error there. Had this happened at Sonoma, for instance, he probably would have survived, as he would have went into the sand pit, instead of a wall.

I have to agree. Most tracks I've seen have long overruns just for problems like that and this one didn't. The blow up may have damaged his chute.

loved watching him run. Prayers to him, his family, and friends.
