Ken Etter recovery fund

GTX JOHN · 08-19-2010, 04:04 PM

Ken was wearing a full face Helmet which probably saved his life and steering column hit him like a spear. Fortunately it still had collapsible stock column........not tubing like I see a lot. No full cage but Rod did a nice job on bar and 2 x 3 connectors. My Demon is very similar right down to color but has a Full Moly Cage that is completely attached to frame connectors or ctossmembers every place it comes down. Ken did have the front plate pull off floor. I also have 3 extra crossmembers tying the whole thing together(even before the were legal in mid 90's) covered in undercoating. I wish I could add bars to front of frame area but still not legal and hard to hide to boot.

The eerie thing about this accident is we had been discussing safety equipment earlier in the day. Thankfully we all take it seriously. I will be looking a little closer at the cars before we go racing this weekend.
