OT - Useless 2007 USAC Sprint Flip Stats

Does the full containment seat put more pressure on the collar bones?

Seems like every time I popped one on the opposing QB it was a takle that planted him shoulder into the ground and the other into me making his collar bone a wish bone sandwich between me and the ground.
Hope that made sense....

I think the seat smushes them into one side on wrecks at times and may add to the additional pressure. Your collar bone moves up and down as it goes in and out from your center line. With the straps over your shoulders and your shoulders braced in your collar bone doesnt have any where to rotate.

Ithinkit is time for bed...I am way over analyzing this...

One final note.... This thread comes on the eve of the greatest celebration of flipping of the entire racing season, The annual "Tulsa Flip Fest" indoor midget race, where, it seems, every year they set a new event flip record!:wink1::eek::rolleyes:

True, but they could have been hurt much worse without them. I've personally heard Bryan say that he believes that the HANS saved his life.

I'd agree. I think both were somewhat "unique" instances, if there is such a thing. No doubt that the HANS been a positive.

i for one would take a broken collar bone over a broken neck/death/ or ending up in a wheel chair the rest of my life.....

I thought Daron Clayton went over 3 times:
Grandview
Haubstadt
Perris

Did Perris count towards USAC points?
