Hey all FUBAR members, check out this video. I was at the Indy 500 yesterday and sat just down from where this happened. A great and fun race overall, but this almost ruined it. Last I heard, the airborne driver Mike Conway (from England) only suffered a broken ankle and some minor bruises, etc.

Crazy thing is just on Saturday morning my son and I talked to him and got his autograph. Unbelievable.

A couple spectators also had a few minor cuts and scrapes, but overall nothing serious. The technology on these cars to keep drivers safe is absolutely astounding.

Damn that is a very very lucky escape, does kind of bring into question the sanity of oval racing, seens as the speeds are consistently so high and the only thing to hit is so close to the track and so solid.

UPDATE: Conway did have to have surgery for multiple fractures in the left leg and he did have a compression fracture in his back. But, all is good and he should be back in action within 3 months. Still pretty minimal considering the incident.

EDIT: Drink Dad's Root Beer!
