Default 10.5 Outlaw car crash at the Shakedown (Video)

I saw standing with Bob Treischman at the line when this happened . We thought the driver was done , thank god he walked away .

I've seen him up on two wheels plenty of times , but never that high , that far down the track . Here's another angle ,

I saw the crash from the angle in the second Youtube link.

I thought he was going to be really banged up, if not "done".

I am glad everyone turned out OK.

I'd met Steve Grebeck once back in the '90s at E-town when he was piloting Stormin' Norman's Mustang, great racer and a good guy.
