He walked away just fine. The car took off at about 174 MPH, but the impact was at much lower speed. It rolled couple of times.
I think he walked away TWICE. It happened in practice, then again in the race with a different car. The third remaining car was pulled in and retired.
What about the other two guys in the CLRs in the picture? Look in the rearview mirror and see the same car you are driving at the same speed lift off.
i never realized how low the CLR is to the ground. its almost like a go-kart, but can fly at high rates of speed...
