cygnusx1 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 If that cage was tack-welded, his life has more to do with modern safety "built-in" from the factory, than that cage. In otherwords, I would be thanking Mitsubishi, not the cage. It might just be the padding that makes it appear tack welded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 The YouTube poster is confusing the roll bar padding that's stuck to the roll bar with the bar itself. There's a little rock stuck between the two pieces of the padding that looks like a tack weld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowCarbZ Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Wow! Unbelievable how demolished the car is. It'd be interesting to see crash footage from the outside of the car (although i'm sure there's none). Good to see the driver walked away.

260DET Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Sort of confirms my opinion that, yes, an AWD car may have more grip but when they do let go.................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddmanout84 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Lol, I don't care how many wheels power is going to, when you break loose like that only a decrease in inertia is going to give grip back to the wheels! Wow! Good thing he was only dazed from it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeatrpi Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Glad to find out he was alright. The safety guys seemed almost annoyed to have to go rescue him... am I misinterpreting things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Mikeatpri, Probably something to do with the genius trying to start the car again. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 His mistake was lifting off the gas when he went two wheels off track. At WSIR turn 9, if you go off track, keep your foot in it and drive towards the pits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMWHYR0HEN Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 That's rediculous. Who would believe that they would let a car out on a track with a tack welded cage. Turn 9 at WSIR has a decreasing radius and scares the sh*t out of me every time. Watching that vid doesn't help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckolander Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Call me crazy, but I think that looked like fun, at least up until the flippy part. Hell even that would've been some adrenaline rush...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
