[:0]Well guys I just got home from the hospital. I was driving a Pro Mod drag car which does 6 second 1/4 mile passes and it sort of went out of control. I slid across the tack out of my lane and into the other lane just missing the other guy. Hit the guard rail bounced back across the the track and hit the other guard rail backwards and then flip the car end over end. I am telling you this because I only know this from the video my buddy took. The only thing we can figure out is the car either hit some fluid on the track or blew a rear tire we can"t tell from the home video tape. What I can tell you is the car made a very violent jerk to the right then to the left and I lost control of the whole rear end of the car. The first thing that went through my mind was HOLY CRAP I am going to hit the other guy. Then I thought oh my god I hope I dont jump the guard rail and hit some people watching, the last thing that went through my mind was maybe I might get hurt. I thought of pulling the chute but then said no in my head all I did was try to keep the car going straight which I sort of did hahaha. Well I am ok obviously because I am telling you guys what happened, well I did get a concusion and a bruised rib or two. But I did wake up this morning and breathing so thats a good sign I guess hahah. But let me tell you that was one hell of a ride oh yea.I really did some damage to the car lucky it wasn't my car I only drive it. Well I did drive it I dont know if they will let me drive it again just kidding the owner said it wasnt my fault and was just glad I was alive and so am I hahah. But just to let you kids out there know if you are going to race a car do it on the track where you wont hurt any one or worse kill someone. I know I sound like an old guy and maybe I am but we have had a couple of really bad crashes on the street lately with kids street racing and people getting killed so hey try to play safe on the street and race at the strip. Oh and I will be back at the track with my own car in two weeks or the pro mod if it is back together. Thanks for listening guys!!!!!!!
