holy crap....terrible track wreck (grand am series)

might be a repost, but this is one of the more amazing wrecks i've seen, particularly in GT car racing. And the driver was apparently ok

The guy probably got a brain concussion, but he'll live...

The Mid-Ohio track got blasted by the community afterwards for building those berms and configurations. They bulldozed them shortly after the crash investigations were completed. It's just another example why I won't track competitively yet...even HPDE.
