He crashed. I will let the vid speek for itself. I wonder if they should change the gard rails to cement barriors. [http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Onefst240/?action=view¤t=Fast\_Eddie.flv](http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Onefst240/?action=view¤t=Fast_Eddie.flv) ---

Hell even hitting the foam blocks at lancaster sucked ass. There is no good way to crash a car. ---

There is no good way to crash a car. If you look in the video, when the car hit the wall the wall bent over and acted like a ramp. Now if oyu have concrete barriers it would hit the wall and stayed on the track not flip 5 or 6 times. ---

Now if oyu have concrete barriers it would hit the wall and stayed on the track not flip 5 or 6 times. Yes, and flipping 5 - 6 times is SAFER than hitting a concrete wall. It’s all about the impact G-loading and the _“second collision”_ (body’s internal organs compressing aginst racing harness, head and neck injuries, ect. ect.) ---

Ok if you look at the car when it goes towards the wall its not actually hitting it that hard. Now if he would of hit a contrete one it would of flatened one side of the car and the car would have been fixable. The wall bending is what makes you guys think that it hit it really hard. Thats my opinion. Now if you look at dale earnhardt he was going 145 mph at the bottom af the track then got tapped and went hard into the wall front end first. ---

> [@onefst240](#): > > snip… **Thats my opinion**. And that is why you are wrong 😉 Concrete hurts way more to hit than metal gaurdrails ( i know first hand) and both fuck cars up immensly. ---

that looks like a hell of an impact, i know you said the car is totaled, but im hoping that theres still plenty of driveline parts that are salvagable… > [@onefst240](#): > > **snip** lets clear this up real fast multiple smaller impacts are safer then one large impact … its that fucking simple say your doing 90 mph up a mountian road … to the left is all small trees, to the right is a 100 foot cliff. your rear tires blow, you have to chose between spinning out into the trees, or spinning out off the cliff … which do you chose? by the way, neither answer is realy wrong, because if you chose the trees, your smart and deserve to live. if you chose the cliff, your fucking retarded and darwin just pulled your ticket ---
