On the front straight doing 130mph, something breaks. The cobra veers hard right and off track. The car leaves a 6O foot gash in the asphalt as it veered before leaving the track and continued for an additional 500 feet off track to its resting point. I received only minor injuries to my left knee and bruised ribs.

I always questioned if that teeny-tiny, small, driver's side specific, ROLL BAR was capable of doing a proper job???

Now I know.....it does, as proven here. It's hard to believe, especially as his head/helmet appears higher than the bar itself.

Oviousily & cleary a violent & creepy wreck. Glad he survived it!!

This is why I never let anyone drive the little car. Most folks want to feel the raw power of such a little car. Your pushing 400 to 550hp in a car that weigh's 2300lbs on average You can end up just like the video in an instant.I myself have had the little car up to 140 after seeing this I may think twice about it again. Thank God he was unhurt I would have to imagine he need to change his shorts Its like I have said "BLACK IS FAST" but also very dangerous You are right the roll bar was to short he was very lucky not to have any injuries

Scary crash. You might want to get your eyes checked kid. That car is not black. Its more red/burgundy.

At least O'Shea knows his car is safe for the yellow vs black showdown at ED DAY
