I thought the clip was withdrawn from NSW tv because it was too graphic.
jcraigau It's obvious that speed was the major factor( that car was skinned !)
Remember when we were boys...100 MPH was the goal. NOW it's 200 Kph (125 mph) The cars are lighter and designed to crush/collapse...at a slower speed... alas young kids will keep on pushing the envelope and several will not make it. I am one that still wonders how I survived all the high speed crashes that I had. ( I at least had the sense to do all those stunts on my own with no passengers) Have a safe and merry Christmas everyone !
Rob.
