amazing how well that held up considering!

all great points of their design and the roll cage is an interesting one for sure. 2" od .125 wall is large...... that has to make dougs tatum seem light weight!

someday when i have budlights money i will buy a trophy truck :m

I would agree, he had a pretty long brake, slow down period, but 80 still looks pretty bad. Don't sign me up for this ride; I like me retina's right where they are

Post by: fabr on February 16, 2023, 07:50:50 PM: I need to show pics of my 129 mph crash @ Tulsa in '84. Car went to the drainage ditch just past the finish line, shred all the body panels and came to rest over 800 feet past the finish line. Tube frame was not hurt even though the front struts/a arms were torn off, four link rear was mangled and the engine/trans was almost torn out. 10 days later the car was back together and I finished the season in 4th after missing 2 races. The Brenthal guys are among the best there is.

Post by: fabr on February 16, 2023, 07:55:51 PM: I've always said that if I knew for sure that I had a 99 percent plus chance of coming out unscathed I would LOVE to take that ride again . It was FUN!!!! You saw how those guys acted about their crash and I could read their minds. They had FUN too.

Amazing it wasn't worse, glad you walked away.

I agree with bullfight, I like my retinas right where they are at too :m. I can see the fun factor very clearly! I do like that cage design too.
