Kart Crash Incident at Daytona International Speedway, December 29, 2011

3 DD2s are driving about 94 MPH down the main straight at Daytona. This is the first lap of practice. We get passed by a series of shifter karts going about 110 MPH. We all go into turn 1, but several of the shifters spin. Steve and Joe manage to avoid one that stops in the middle of the turn, but I, unfortunately, spun trying to avoid him and got ejected from my kart. Fortunately I only suffer some abrasions and bruises. My kart wasn't so lucky :(

Hi,

Really nice video, good one!

I was in Daytona earlier this year, is a wonderful track.

Who knows when I return to the USA we could run together!

We have a go kart race team here in Brazil, take a look at my videos...

I think that's the first time I've seen anyone get ejected from a kart (without the kart flipping).

wow... a similar crash happened at my go kart track last weekend. some kid got spun in the turn right in front of the bleachers and then another kid came and t-boned him and then got on top of the other car with the impact. i saw the whole thing from the stands. it was scary, the owner of the track said it was the worst crash he had ever seen at the track
