Brush the wall @ the strip, and you may damage...

This guy found out the hard way!

Scary stuff but could have been much worse.

Really? I would say that the rear right definitely went into the wall, impacting with enough force to cause some flex to the rear axle assembly. Enough so that if it had no effect, it would be one heck of a coincidence

I'm willing to bet that the reason he went into the wall in the first place was because something was loose or in the process of failing on the first run and that it let go completely on the next run.

The wall smack was probably a symptom, not a cause. He should have checked out why he went hard right like that, he might have found the problem. He probably blamed it on the track.

That reminds me of this one...

I'll second that.

Good thing he's ok. Gotta hand it to him too, he's got prostetic legs. Good for him out there racing!!! He's been fixed & now his car needs fixin!!

I used to build drag racing chassis and the guy who welded the mounts to the rear of that early Camaro should have his junk kicked in. Tapping the wall had nothing to do with those welds failing, they failed before they ever cooled down.
