Unless you know of a car that crashed that I’m unaware of, the only super gas crash I know of is the one Paul described. Paul gave his update after talking with someone from Racers for Christ. It was reported over the speaker that he was alert, knew where he was, and who everyone was at the hospital. They were looking him over real good as it was a pretty serious crash but this is the first I’ve heard of any serious injury. They did cut him out of the car and brought a helicopter in. There was definitely no intent to downplay how bad the accident was by saying he was ok, but that’s the message that was given. I hope both him and Chris both have a quick recovery as I’m sure both are at a minimum sore and bruised. Hate to see that for anyone in the racing family.

We can agree to diasagree on the track. We had 7 cars in 5 different classes in our area that got down without any issue when we weren’t killing motors.

As far as the Tucson raceway. I was on the other side of the track in some super thick gravel. After a run to get back to my pit was a pretty good adventure. They were spraying water but it made the gravel loose and huge ruts. You had to drive your car pretty hard just to get through the stones. I was running my engine 30 degrees hotter all weekend then I normal would do. Once in the staging lanes. All was good for me. Easy burn out, I never spun and straight down Broadway. Plenty of shut down and the scales were spot on.
Also Danny Gracia was there and we had spot inspections one run.
Weighed every run with fuel check every run. All was great to have and be a part of.
