the SAFER barrier is imo the biggest key to the safety for drivers, the HANS device also deserves a lot of credit.

This is where vectors from physics would come to play. It would depend on what angle the car was traveling at when it hit. Of course, the car itself hit head on, but the car was obviously traveling both down the track and toward the inside wall at the same time. If the 164 mph is accurate, then not all of that speed was in the direction headed toward the wall - just a portion. It looks like he was traveling toward the wall at a 45 degree angle which would seem to be confirmed by the angle that…

It looks like he was traveling toward the wall at a 45 degree angle which would seem to be confirmed by the angle that the car came off the wall. If I remember by trig and physics correctly and the car was moving at 164 mph at impact then the component of speed that was directed into the SAFER barrier was about 116 mph. It was a hard hit nonetheless. It looked like a very hard hi…tag:www.planetrobby.com,2009-04-28:2181693:Comment:1687652009-04-28T23:40:21.357ZMouseking7http://www.planetrobby.com/profile/WayneABartlett
It looked like a very hard hit from where we were all seated!!!!! While everyone seems to like waiting for, and then seeing the crashes, it does bring one to a REALITY trip real fast when you wonder IF they will make it out of the car ok! Very scary crashes to witness in person! Glad everyone is ok!!!

FOX had the speed tracker on Robby and as he headed towards the wall it went from 182,178,174,164,0... So he went from 164mph to 0!! Don't know if that's accurate but that's what I saw.

i'm glad he is okay that hit looked hard thank god for the safer barrier.. and i hope all the fans that were injured will have a fast recovery they touched on that crash the one with carl filpping on my local news.

Yeah as much focus as there is on Rob and the top 35, the fact that he walked away from that crash puts things into the proper order.<br />

Maybe he went to the chapel service that morning for some good karma.
