Same same :-)

"no longer on board" had me in stitches. am glad he is safe.

Willow really needs to consider either crash barriers or gravel. I've seen multiple videos of drivers going off on a slight error but once they were off they were a passenger until they either hit a jump or an embankment.

the comments here are ridiculous... this car is a long way from the tail happy nose heavy stock fox body. its a fully redesigned suspension. the guy who built it obviously does his homework and knows how to build a track car. taking turn 8 at willow springs at 130 should tell you a LOT about how much work has been done to this car. all in all, really well built racecar that crashed about as well as anybody could really hope for given the circumstances. as for the comment about it being staged... give me a friggin break. this is a competitive race car. he was there to place not to wreck. try stopping any car on stiff spings and racing slicks on dirt at 130 mph.

and the driver...... no wait

its cool how the camera placed its self on the floor pointing directly at the action.

@Bassxtronic X - have you EVER gone true, door-to-door road racing? Not just open tracking, I'm talking about honest to God, full-on road racing? If not, then you don't have a true frame of reference. It's something I did for 11 years, at 17 different race tracks around the US, and even after over a decade of racing, I still made mistakes. For those who insist this accident/video was staged - it wasn't. I was at the track that day, racing in that run group, and saw it happen, as I was ~1/4 lap behind him. Steve built a damn good car, with a cage that, literally, saved his life. There's no denying he made a mistake - it happens when racing. Ever seen an F1 race? Even those drivers, at the top rung of racing, make mistakes - it happens.

Willow Springs really needs to rethink their run-off at all three tracks at some locations IMO. (As in in my opinion so if you don't agree good for you.) Good to hear that Steve made it through the whole ordeal all right.

"No longer 'on board'"

Love the "Onboard With" and "No Longer Onboard With" annotations and the clean camera vs. dirty camera. :)

Hello Drive viewers! Glad you're safe!

Great vid. I just bought an AI Foxbody with a very similar cage. It's amazing how well the roof held up given it was literally slammed into a brick wall. Compare to that video of an S197 Mustang at Hallet doing a tail of nose flip that totally pancaked the roof, pushing the single hoop roll bar through the floor.

Criticizing is easy, driving is hard. Biting the dirt at 130 in a narrow track is not that difficult.

Very very very lucky man. Good job in taking the extra steps with the cage design and not taking any short cuts.

Same. Glad to see nobody hurt other than a bruise or two

Glad this dude is ok, that crash is no joke. Seems like a solid dude too.

Dude I was there and saw it first hand! I was on the bikes across the fence at SOW. I crashed that morning too. Im so glad you are okay! I hope to see you back out there. Im building a Slomaro for CMC.

Along with a good cage & other safety equipment make sure you keep your body fit. Some won't like to hear this but... Out of shape people get hurt much easier in car crashes. Workout & eat right!

No crowds where harmed in the making of this video.

I am glad that the car and the driver both live to race another day.

Glad you're okay, but great work on protecting yourself. Hope you get back safely onto the track.

Where's the Dukes of hazzard overlay music?

Ive driven the track & glad to see you've made it out w no broken bones. If interested, Im selling my 82 Gt.

Glad you are ok after this Steve, did you build another car?

DDE brought me to this! Insane

Glad to see you're doing ok! Crazy crash! Great ending lol

Wow crazy footage and what a jump

Is the Steve of Boeing designer fame.

thanks for the vídeo, very cool.

Now that is an awesome cage design.

Matt sent me here in 2020

Was there this weekend... the patch where they repaired the wall is still not painted.

This man has a lovely family with young daughters...I assure you that this was not a "staged" event.

how did the camera come off at the perfect angle..

+kenykillr You should be thankfull

What onboard camera were you using?

Look, the guy was racing, went off road and had an accident. It happens to everyone. get over it! Glad the guy is ok and walked away. Don't tell me what you would have done, when you don't know until you find yourself there. Good job Steve glad your ok

no longer on board, lol. Perfect shot though, it landed perfectly framing the shot of him exiting the car, wow!

I've been off there in a Formula Ford, it's not a ride in the park. Good job building the car. Good luck with your next one. Keep those loaded tires on the black part.

Thank you for making this into more than just a crash video. It's a great reminder for everyone who tracks their car...it's time to cancel some speed parts orders and spend some money on safety.

hell of a crash glad to see him walk away really nice car before good thing he thought about his safety good job on the roll cage , everybody can see how important safety really is when racing

Matt sent me in 2020

good car doing its job and keeping you safe

Steve is currently working on a 67 Fastback for his daily driver.

glad you are ok hell of a crash

Powerblock TV got me here

Early Apex in turn 8. At the exit was on the outside instead of the inside.

This track just released in iRacing. I've already unintentionally replicated this exact crash a number of times at the exact same spot. Initially I couldn't believe this jump existed/happened IRL as it seems designed to kill the driver, launching the car windshield-first into the barrier. I attributed this behavior to the supposed ice grass/sand in iRacing. But after watching this video I'm left: a) Loving the realistic feel in iRacing; b) In disbelief this exists as is IRL. There should be a proper way to slow the car down before taking this jump into a wall;

Glad Steve is O.K.

that was my first car i bought when i turned 17. i have no videos of my current car

good stuff

Matt sent me here 2020.

Dukes of Desert!!

Dam that sucks! Looks like badass fox body.

I am here because of Matt.

Drift HD. Its what's on the screen.

I’m thinking just as a though experiment with no real science just curious would the crash have been less damaging for lack of a better word if the car would have rolled? Knowing he has a spectacular cage that was literally designed with such scenario in mind. would the car have lost more momentum by rolling and maybe not have enough energy left to reach the wall? Or even the embankment at all? I’m glad this although terrible incident happened I’m glad it happened how it happened because the drive is still alive and safe!

Wow. That's what roll cages are for. 'And Steve walked right out. Glad he's okay.

If u can please rebuild this car they are starting to get hard to find

3:03 cool!!!!!! seems like #Rally .

haha camera gets a perfect shot of him getting out after the jump

If you listen to TST, you likely watch car videos. Popular podcast mentions video and people search and watch video. KZread suggests video because it's a trending car video.

Mustang doing Mustang things

wow camera was in perfect position!?

Drive brought me here...

I'd recommend taking a driving course at Bondurant. This is a text book example of "lifting/easing off the accelerator" in a corner.

Whoah! That's a well-built car. I can't seem to find a fault with anything. Just overcooked it, happens to the best of us. Got right out of the car, just fine, no injuries. That runoff zone is sketchy. Does it really need a concrete wall? I mean, damn.

Nobody would "stage" jump flipping their car into a cinder-block wall upside down......but I'm sure your'e a professional race car driver that has been in LOTS of those situations and just drove back onto the track unscathed.

/DRIVE sent me as well

good cage design crazy crash

Holy shit! I was saddened to start watching this as I thought it was as a classic mustang but sad anyway and glad driver unharmed.

Matt sent me again

Did you realize you were airborne?

What is it? I will be glad to prove you wrong.

7:18 , nice welding........

This why i can't bring myself to run my car at the track. Crazy wreck!

Seriously man, you could have got out of that crash and straight into a wheel chair for the rest of your life. Safety modifications has always been a little bit more important than performance modifications to me for this exact reason.

X2

I raced at willow for years and been off at 135 nothing like this deal. Everyone always tries to correct instead of riding it out full brake and wheels straight. Rookie mistake at willow.

Matt Farah sent me here too hahaha

no shit, i never said it could beat a purpose built racecar. i said it could probably beat GuitarFreak's sled through turns

That fucking runoff must lead to Narnia it's so long

Supercharged? Cause I swear I heard a neat supercharger whine OR I am hallucinating from the shrooms I had earlier...

on board- off road

Bassxtronic X is correct. What are you doing flaring out across the track the way you did exiting Turn 8? Totally wrong!! By the way, I'll cut you some slack and say welcome to the "Turn 9 Club." Thanks for the graphic showing how far the car was airborne. I did the same in a Formula Ford in 1969 (halfway way through Turn 9) and to this day I've always said the car flew for about 25 yards. Guess I wasn't far off. Luckily, the car came to rest just short of a ravine that was in the area back then. Had I gone into it the outcome might have been different than just the embarrassment I experienced from doing some agricultural racing. As it is, to this day I can't remember the car ever coming back to earth. All I can remember is sitting there in a badly damage race car inside a cloud of dark brown dust.

He should've known better than to race a car that can't turn

Mat sent me

track should improve that run off area...not the first car to hit that wall

ok im just gonna step in here and say if you think your cars so hot show up at an AIX event. until then just keep quiet

Thank God it was a Mustang 5.0 lol. For real though glad dude is ok.

haha it was a PG Video until the end.. "Well dude your Car is Fucked".

Matt made this sound much more glorious than it actually was.

American race tracks are the worst for safety design. Especially this track hard packed sand no burms or extra run-off asphalt or no cat litter pits to slow you down. Very dangerous for situations like this. They should at least remove the dirt hill jumps I mean come on' man!!!
