So incredibly fast that it looks like a few frames of video got cut in the slo-mo. If not, that driver's the luckiest SOB in the hemisphere. Seriously.

Some of you should read the rules before you comment on safety and Lemons , Chumpcar. My PCA legal VFC Motorsport roll cage would not be legal in Lemons
and Chumpcar requires a full fire suppression system were I can run in pca with just a fire extinguisher. The rules regarding safety are changing quickly in both series and will be on par with all the major club series soon.

Can anyone identify the head and neck restraint that the passenger is using? Just curious. Thank you!

The most important rule with regards to safety is properly licensing drivers for competition. I'd rather prevent the accident rather than minimize the effect after it occurs.

How is Chump and LeMons going about addressing that issue?

Are you sure you have the right thread. You are the first person to bring up Chumps on Lemons. The only reference I saw made to an organization was in reference to circle track.

I have slipped disks in my neck from a racing incident from before the Hans became popular. I will not go out without it.

Scary. The navigator reached out to keep the driver's head from falling over at the very end!
