Back in the spring of 05 I had the dis pleaser of breaking a sway bar end link going through turn 5 at Road Atanta doing about 105 mph.
Needless to say Turn 5 is an uphill left hander, the rear of my car swung around to the right, and next thing I know I was going backwards just as fast as the cars going foward,
I choose to move to the out side of the track ( about 20 feet of grass between the pavement and a wall. ) to slow down.
It was either hit traffic or nudge into the wall at 80 + mph. I choose the wall.
I had purchased and Installed a HANS device the day prior.
Safety is always on drivers and event promotors minds.
