From someone who's never driven a race car like that, it seemed like you were driving quite well and not overusing your tires. Simply bad luck on the crash, I didn't see it coming until it was in my face! Good luck on your future runs, and stay safe!

@joecamel914

thanks a lot, hopefully will be back racing later in the year on the new Cup car.

You were really unlucky there, it was a great race so far until the race! I noticed you sticking out your arm while driving to the pits after the crash. Don't you have any safety devices to prevent you're arm going out of the car in case of a big crash? We either race with an arm restraint or a net in the Netherlands.

There is a big chance that we will be racing on 9 january 2011 at Zandvoort. Any interest to join the race?

@enjoyracing

Hi, we don't use any arm safety devices. I don't think I am able to race in the winter. Will keep you updated. Thanks

buen video......... +1

[fahadhm]

Highlight:

If you came to this video to see the crash, it is at: 6:50

[StephMX5]

There is nothing much you could do about that one. That came out of nowhere and I did not see it coming the first time I watched the video. I had to play it back. Good luck next season...

[fahadhm]

@StephMX5

yes it was crazy, thanks a lot

[fyamin]

[LonewolfSaichi]

Ouch. Still, awesome race!

[fahadhm]

@LonewolfSaichi

it was the best weekend in term of performance. thanks

[mindadventurer]

i watched that in full screen like 10 times. not once could i pick that white car you crashed into even once. And wow? why would he not have backed up? horrible job on his point unless his transmission was gone.

[fahadhm]

@mindadventurer

I think it all happened so quickly, I was going flat out but managed to hit the brakes before the front car cleared of my way. I have some interesting pics to share. Will put them i a slideshow as usual. thanks

[rxi11]

you really dont like ripple strips do you ..??? good job (exept for the bingle) glad you got it repaired for the next race

[fahadhm]

@rxi11

no I don't, that's why I stay away from them lol

thanks

[GT2SPA]

hope the damage was not to big nice battle till the crash

grtzz

[fahadhm]

@GT2SPA

we managed to put the car for the 3rd race within an hour. thanks

[sutyi]

The chap spun behind other cars back to the racing line, not much could've been done to avoid it I guess. The guy in front of you just managed to avoid since he had the visibility to do so. Better luck for the next race.

[fahadhm]

@sutyi

it was very hard to see or avoid. thanks

[BEAVISHSV]

nice agressive drive there, really good battle until you had the contact. unfortunate hit and very difficult to see or avoid. keep it up mate.

[fahadhm]

@BEAVISHSV

Thanks Brendan

[SinthoAbled]

oh this car was very hidden,low speed save you for a big crash

[fahadhm]

@SinthoAbled

I know, I went flat out at the corner. Thanks

[Crazeerooster]

Sorry to see the crash, hope the damage isn't too bad.

[fahadhm]

@Crazeerooster

Well, we managed to do the next race with messed up suspension set-up. Hope the car will be ready for next weekend.

[johnkimballracing]

Yikes! That car appeared from nowhere, no chance to avoid it. How bad was the damage?

[fahadhm]

@johnkimballracing

I was going flat out. Some damage to the frame, they had to remove the anti-roll bar for the next race. The radiator was damaged too, luckily no leak in the 3rd race. Thanks John.
