Looks like he caught the end of a concrete wall. Open gates and the end of walls around the outside of tracks should never be allowed. Insurance should enforce this.

There's a lot of things that could end dirt racing as we know it: The EPA, urban sprawl, lack of promotion, etc. But track safety should be enforced at any expense, even if it is ultimately detrimental to the sport. Our safety equipment protects us from many poorly designed racing facilities but it shouldn't have to. And you shouldn't destroy a race car for missing your mark by 6 inches which is exactly what it appears Boom Briggs did. I'm not asking for "bumper bowling" but come on, people!

I have always hated those big tires on track, There is no place for them. If you want to protect a barrier there are better solutions. That track should have been straight with concrete wall, there is no question. After seeing that I wouldn't race there and I don't have a race car.

From the looks of it, he did.

Atomic/kc used to have something similar to this a few years ago. I'm not sure if those tires are planted or filled with anything or not, I never have been to FC. Atomic has buried their tires about halfway in the ground. Which I think it a better idea than just having them sit then, or having them filled with something.

He did hit tires first. There are 3 total. The one he took out, well lets say he booted it. Brutal hit. Had his wrist taped up with a ice pack. Other than that seemed ok.

As far as the track, you've gotta be up over the berm to catch that tire. Sounded like he never lifted from where I was.

Glad he's alright. Same obviously can't be said for the car, but it did it's job. Especially with the fuel cell back there, it could've been much worse. I'm sure I've never turned a lap as fast as Briggs there, but I (and am sure others) have gotten over the edge on the back straight and ended up just staying to the right and driving off into the pits. Once you're over too far you can't get the car back to the left.

I was there happened right in front of me in turn 3 Sheared off the frame behind the cage. What you see in the pictures in back; the frame was basically dangling there just hanging on. Crazy He went tot tune into 3 and the back of the car caught the huge tires blocking the edge of the wall and ripped the tail of the car off.

I believe it was Snooki Dehm, who blasted this wall a ton. Direct hit to the passenger door if I remember correctly.
