This actually makes track racing a 911 look safe........VW Beetle 120+mph rollover

Not sure exactly what happened, but one of the VW racers I know had an incident at Sacramento earlier today. Amazingly he walked away. Makes me wonder about pushing a wing shaped car that fast down the track. No matter what you race, make sure that safety equipment is in good shape. http://www.members.aol.com/mtbredeye/MattDavis/

Trust you, Cornie, to lower the tone by mentioning the "V" word! Looks like a wild ride. Is Matt OK? See you at Classic in ten days.... get ready to party!

Apparently one of the brakes locked up in the lights. Car snap rolled 4 times with a couple spins on the nose. Matt crawled out with only some bruises.

I think the correct technical expression is "Ouch!"
