A good buddy of mine and fellow Nova racer Jay Crawford crashed last Friday night at our local weekly Outlaw 10.5 race. He is known for pulling big wheelstands. Well it finally caught up with him and he was flown to Shock Trauma. I was there and saw the crash happen from the starting line and helped in getting him extracted from the car.
To his credit he is home recovering as of yesterday with a plate and screws in his right arm, a pin in his left ring finger, bruised lungs, cracked ribs and a sprained ankle.
His safety equipment did the job of keeping him alive.
He will not be racing anytime soon the car is totalled but he is still with us. After this ordeal I have reconsidered how some things have been done in my Nova and Camaro.
Everytime I look at the photos then it hits me just how bad the crash really was.
