Nice couple of video's, lurker. Thanks for posting.

Ever since Larson's tumble and subsequent shot to the roll cage in a wingless USAC 410 Sprint Car at Eldora he's been spooked by wingless sprint car racing. I don't think he's driven a wingless 410 since that night at Eldora. I remember a podcast interview Larson did that he spoke of, and admitted to being spooked by wingless 410's as a result of the crash at Big E.

Larson's crash at Eldora was one of the scariest sprint car crashes I've ever seen where the driver walked away. Larson was lucky enough to have escaped without injury but obviously the mental injuries sustained in that crash will probably linger forever and I don't blame him for that. Cage top impacts have ended some famous careers. Most famous are Jan Opperman at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Mile, Bryan Clauson at Belleville, Kansas and Shane Hmiel at Terre Haute. I'm sure those facts are not lost on Yung Money.

To my knowledge no video of Opperman's crash at The Fairgrounds exists. There is video of Bryan Clauson's Belleville crash but the people in possession of the video say it will never be released for public viewing.

Shane Hmiel's crash that left him paralyzed from the neck down is on YouTube but I won't post it.

Here's a video of Larson's crash at Eldora.

The car still had forward motion and the tires and suspension took a lot of the hits just as they were designed to. (Fortunately)
