That drag link standing straight up in front of the rollcage scares the crap out of me.

Damn good thing he had a full containment seat.
Is that the drag link? I couldn't tell what it was it was so bent up. That is scary!

It's not bent, at least not as much as it seems; it's an offset drag link with an intentional kink in it.
What concerns me is that it looks like it has a tether on it, which is supposed to keep it from flailing like that.

Don't think the item at the end of drag link is a tether, looks more like the steering arm for the left spindle.

Update on Mike, he's fine the car is not.we are very lucky for him to have no injuries. We had a strap on draglink, don't know what happened. We are starting putting another car together, thanks for the concerns.

Glad to hear Mike jr is ok, hope everything goes well for you guys the rest of the year. All tho since you guys moved to the sprint cars I have to buy the boy new tires this year instead of using your scrubs. Take it easy, Jake
