96 mph at the Mint 400 over the weekend... both Kevin "Big Ugly" Sacalas and his co-dawg Bryan Grigsby walked away with minor injuries
 
That is scary as hell! I can't imagine going through that without a hans device, shatterproof windows, cushy airbags coming from every direction, damn I know that hurt! As odd as it may seem, I've had quite a few BAD wrecks on quads but I'd rather do that than be trapped in a vehicle barrel rolling.
 
Good topic. Always prepare for the worst. Build it right, and a roll over is funny. Not life threatening.
Trust me.

I am with you, brother! No more 2 wheel wipe outs for me. Way too old now and the body is still paying for the last one.

We burried the nose of a full tilt, 600 horse, prerunner into a bank and all but destroyed the the whole truck a couple years ago. I had just called the speed out off the GPS at 89. The desert changes overnight. There was nothing from the prerun notes on the gps about a wash being there. Since we were just having "Fun" running the race course into the pits, I didnt have on a helment or a hans. I couldnt turn my head the next morning. Pauly bent the steering wheel like a pretzel and his chewing gum was thrown out of his mouth onto the dash! At least the roof of the Bronco lived on in the next life as a pit sign.
