Would have been nice if they left the full video up. Anyone have the uncut version?

I have a feeling the camera shuts off after that. He did 9 flips.

@rowham1 Yah that does look rather steep, wow.

:(

I just cannot believe that they would allow such a steep slope off a corner like that after such a long straight? who the hell designs these tracks?? no wonder it came off so badly, if there was a clean flat area there would have been no chance for the front corner to drop suddenly and grab that way!

I was thinking the exact same thing man... my dad races in SCCA as well and showed me this shocking crash. I'm glad that your okay!

Glad the driver is ok. Did he ever pinpointed what caused the brake failure?

Bad front wheel bearing caused a faulty reading by the ABS computer.

I hate to say it but this accident probably could have been prevented. There had to have been some telltale sign that should have shown up in one of the inspections. Brakes don't just fail out of nowhere. (wet spot on a line/ caliper, bubble on a line etc, even old fluid...)
Glad he's ok though.

Brakes with ABS can fail without warning. All it takes is a dirty signal from the wheel sensor. Yes this car had ABS. As well a master cylinder could go bad as well with no evidence. A wheel bearing can take a crap and cause a brake failure. In Racing failures can happen without warning.
rkj4107 maybe there are some things you don't know all about.

The Recorder was pitched from the car.

Yes it was a brake failure. Jeff was ok only a small bump on his fore head. He got out of the car on his own and walked to the ambulance.
