First off I’m extremely glad Scott survived, he’s very lucky. Second, as with every Buick thread lets just sweep any content about safety under the rug and don’t discuss it. One day people are going to wake up. I sold my low 9-second TSO car in part because I didn’t feel a certified cage was enough given the weight and speed.
Looking at the video is chilling and only proves the point that the car should have had a cage. The rear of the car that had the roll bar is intact, hence why the rear and opera windows didn’t pop out. The front of the roof, the part that should have had a halo and cage is completely crushed down and caused the roofline to buckle and the door-jam to pinch. I’m not saying this to slam Scott or anything, it’s his car and he makes his own decisions. At the end of the video there is mention of seeing flames as the car went over the wall, lucky there was not a fire from a ruptured fuel line or tank because those cotton jeans weren’t going to help. A 9-second car requires a certified cage, licensed driver, 5-layer fire pants/jacket, gloves and a neck ring among other things.
I’d have posted this somewhere else but looking in the lounge and other places I didn’t see any other thread discussing it so sorry if I’ve taken the intent of this thread off topic. Moderators feel free to move this thread to an appropriate location.
All I can say, ur a lucky man! And I hope you family is pulling through all this too...
