Nasty wreck here at Mid Ohio Raceway
 

For some reason they put a huge berm in the grass at the end of the fastest straightaway on the track, and this was a result:

I'd be ready to get out on the first flip. Try to get out on the second. Hold on for 6 more????

Same turn from a couple weeks ago

Every time I go to mid ohio I always sit right near this turn where everybody has to go from 170mph to 20mph.. always some kind of wreck right there like a few years ago I saw a Prelude doing cartwheels through that dirt

It was an M3 :eek: looks bad, but not nearly as bad as hiting the wall head on at the same speed, numerous smaller impacts mean he'll hurt for a while, but probably nothing seriously long lasting, gotta love those race cages and safty equipment :D

yeah, I couldn't imagine something happening like that in a cart race..

How far are you from the Mid Ohio Raceway? Miles? Driving hours? How much people have to pay to get in and watch racing? :D

I'm about an hour to an hour and a half away and it only costs $12 to watch.. I usually get there early to watch the hondas and miatas race, those are the most fun imo :)

Cool. thanks. If I'm going to columbus and have chance to stay there for couple days, I might go and watch.

Take your car to the raceway...race and hit 130, 140mph...don't just watch. Be sure to slow down at that turn. :D
