If you are going to complain give us some reasoning. So that if there were problems with the cage others can avoid them.

Jeff, there was no complaint with the cage. F2 didn't build the cage, though they found a reputable shop to do the work. That is all. Don't read too much into it.

What does this mean? Was your accident caused by another driver?

Nope. What cause the crash was me having the wheels turned at the crest of the hill.

Thank God you were ok Ted. Sounds like the whole day was straight out of a true "racing" playbook.

My commendations to the Lapp crew for building such a solid car! The effort you guys made to safely enjoy the racing sport may have just saved a dear friends life!

Great to hear that Ted is doing well. I hope the after affects of the concussion pass quickly.
