I think he needs our thoughts and prayers, it doesn't sound good but I don't make the call, only one guy does that.

Do we have any clue as to what actually happened ?apacheracing wrote:RIP Mike, Very sad to see things like this happen all too often. If you havent seen the pictures of the car, I dont think roll bar padding , but you should have it in place at any point of contact, or even a helmet would have helped in this one. The car took a very hard shot in the drivers door. I started a thread before about fast cars on the street and how fast things can go wrong.
The car took a very hard hit from the side. The news I read is he passed due to head trauma and it appears in the photo that the roll cage around the head area is still intact. Therefore, I would assume his head impacted the roll cage. The info in the threads posted about this tragedy state the car had an 8.50 cage in it but, unless I'm seeing things, it looks to me to have a funny car enclosure added. That enclosure would leave even less head room to avoid contact with a cage bar in a side impact. We all make choices in our own personal lives so, to all my friends out there, please be aware that roll cages without helmets and padding are not safe. It may not have saved him but, since he was clinging to life after not wearing one, I would think it would have increased his chances tremendously. Not preaching brothers....just stating the obvious.apacheracing wrote:RIP Mike, Very sad to see things like this happen all too often.
