Also if this makes you feel better, you weren’t the only Ben something like this happened too.

I rolled a car on the highway once after being run into the median by an 18wheeler. I was going much slower but it’s such a helpless feeling. so glad you’re okay man! Cars can be replaced and we’ll all be looking forward to your next project.

looking forward to hearing about your insurance process too.. in time.

I hope it goes smooth. I called and started the claim yesterday.

That sounds scary. That helplessness feeling is just too awful. I hope you have a speedy and full recovery.

If you want to take a deeper look at it someday, I can help you decode the LogR logs of that session. But for now, just focus on your physical and mental health.

I actually have live data from my flash pro!

This is a testament to the Eventuri intake! She's in one piece!

This view shows a bit more of the roll damage.

I must say, the FL5/Civic is one strong and well made car. Glad you were able to walk away!

I had to do a double take to realize that was a different car, in the exact same spot on the track!

yea me too, I was like this looks familiar… oh shit it’s the same spot.

Yes, I screamed, and you would too! If you have anything negative to say, DM me personally so that I can give you my address.

Glad you're ok!!!

Nothing more to add than my messages to you yesterday. I’d be shocked if anyone would have anything negative to say. Anyone who tracks the car knows you can be consistent all you want but sh1t happens. I remember when I went into the tire wall at Palmer, my last word caught on my camera audio was, fvck!

I hope you’re able to transfer some mods over to your next FL5.

It seems like every track has its spots.

Keep us posted.

I'd say it was a surprisingly reserved scream, all things considered--glad you're ok!

I hope it goes smooth. I called and started the claim yesterday.

Feel free to shoot me a message if you run into any issues on the claim side. No doubt that's a total loss, and you likely have a policy with an agreed-upon value for the car. It should be little more than providing photos, a statement, and an address for the check.

I recommend you take a chance to get your personal belongings out of the car, along with any upgrades you can carefully remove.

Most of the upgrades were destroyed unfortunately. I'll be lucky if they let me keep the brakes.

If the car is at your place, then maybe a friend can come over and help you remove them? If I was closer I would absolutely help you with that.

The car is in the track impound lot unfortunately

I guessed the full throttle area on top of the esses before even watching the video. To me that is the most ballsy part of the track given the SCCA STL/Gridlife race videos I watched from VIR while competing in STL on the west coast.

Crazy crash. Super happy that you are okay. Rebuild and get some redemption!
