Re: Pikes Peak Hill Climb Crash

crazy you can hear him screaming. thats more disturbing then the actual event. To hear that a human is screaming for his life evokes an emotion, hopefully, that is worse then watching the event.

By now, nearly everyone in the United States, racing fan or not, has seen Jeremy Foley and Yuri Kouznetsov’s horrific crash during Sunday’s Pike’s Peak Hill Climb. The driver and co-driver even made an appearance on NBC’s Today Show, where Foley admitted that his last thought before the car left the mountain was, “this is it, this is game over.”

Foley’s Evolution Dynamics-prepared Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was destroyed in the crash, but a stout roll cage kept driver and co-driver from serious injury. We’re not eager to suffer a dislocated shoulder, but it certainly beats the other potential outcome of not survivi

Re: Pikes Peak Hill Climb Crash

With the advent of full containment seats, head/neck restraints, and well designed roll cages, I don't think this wreck is all that bad. Trees, big rocks, head-on hits, etc. are a lot more dangerous than even a wild rollover like this one. The initial hit was the worst of it.

Looked like there were more than a few big rocks there.

Re: Pikes Peak Hill Climb Crash

None so large or in the right spot to bring the car to a dead stop, which would be really really bad for the driver and sub driver.
