Remember Dale…the ink on my arm says

“No one gets out alive”

> Carl & Ellen Young.  Battle Mtn NV 2005.  Carl said their 'Arm Restraints' in frt trunk.  Carl suffered horrible left arm issues( I think 2 or 3 compound fractures), & Ellen Right arm.  Mid Course Flight for Life @ a big central Course worker station.  They had just gone thru radar trap @ 192 mph.  NEW rear tire burst.  As they came from behind a hill into view of Aid / Course worker station, they were already going 'End over End'!!  Car came to a rest within 40 yards of Helicopter!!!!

> CANNOT remember his name.  (Battle Mtn NV, maybe 3 miles North of Austin High school) Ran UNL division with me. (ex NASCAR) Wrecked at South end, Battle Mtn NV.  He could smell rain in the air, but road was OK.   Entered LAST corner, set up right, onto white line to take left hand sweeper at maybe 190 mph.  White line hadn't dried moisture yet from earlier rain.  He was counting on traction.....but line was wet....he Lost control.  Hit the dirt/rock cut, went across road, flew across small valley.  He was UPSIDE DOWN & BACKWARDS when they hit embankment on other side!!!  ( 50 yard or sooo flight )
> Both air lifted from Battle Mtn.  Nav had Hutcheons device, driver had Hans device, both had very similar injuries.  I spent time with him in ER in Battle Mtn before flight for life returned to take him.
> Both were Unconscious before flying across valley.  Nav woke up first, before course workers got to them.  Car was still upside down.  But now in bottom of 50 foot ravine.  He woke, because HOT OIL was leaking out of dry sump cell, across roof ( now the floor), and hot oil was BURNING his hand in it's path!!
> Both recovered OK.....but he had PTSD forever because of it.  He tried a road race in CA a couple years later....& could NOT handle it!!!
> Charlie Friend close behind him.  Didn't see it happen.  But road not closed yet, might have been mere seconds.  Charlie fast thru there.  Debris all over the road...he weaved his way thru it, but couldn't avoid one big thing!!  Ran over it with Corvair.  He & I looked car all over, I found a peice of the battery post from NASCAR!!  First impact SOOOO hard for those guys, battery had been knocked out of car on first part of collision with wall!!!

> Indira Inada's car.  TOOO much wing, led to toooo much caster on independent rear axle, which led to extreme temps on inner wall of tires.  ( need for air tunnel testing!! ) Tires didn't last 60 miles!!  I saw his 'In Car' video.  He could've kept the car on road & NOT crashed.  
> You could hear tire explode.  You could see vibration start instantly.  He almost instantly hit brakes & started downshifting!!  Car swerving got BAD after a couple shifts....& he LOST it!!!!
