    My buddy Jim walked away from a firey crash at Mid-Ohio during the recent NASA Championship weekend. Well sort of, he went back in to help his fellow driver who was stuck in his car!! Here is the video from NASA Speednews, taken from several angles.

    Yeah every car I built in the past had the kill switch on the passenger side, but my Celica will have it much closer to me with a pull cable extending to he passenger side door area. We road racers usually put the kill switch where the Corner Workers can get to it the easiest.

    We are racing this weekend at CMP in Kershaw SC and Jim will be racing his Thunder Roadster. Just glad he was able to get out and had the presents of mind to be able to get back to the other driver!!
