I don't think anyone could be calm after that. It probably happened way to fast for him to even realize what kind of trouble he was in. I'd thnk they might have had to surgically remove the seat cushion from his posterior after the race though, certainly would excede my pucker factor. LOL

At least he had a stout roll bar.

MAYBE,... the way the photog got such a good shot was because he was doing that every time around the track. Think about THAT.

I'm thinkin: (a) needs a larger "anti-roll" bar and (b) "in-ground" effects aren't makin-it. 4 wheels better than 2, roverman.
