This is why you should have a 5 point harness in a race car and approved safety gear.

...or a seatbelt at all.

While true, it doesn't look like this guy was wearing any seatbelt at all.

That includes a flame proof suit and flame proof underwear. Helmet too. Wearing anything less is just dumb in cars like that.

That Camaro shouldn't have even been on the track. That guy almost caused an accident earlier in the race, he was all over the place.

I think he did cause the accident later on in the race. It looks like the other car was simply trying to avoid him when losing control.

Bad suspension set up. Too loose.

Can't put all the blame on him though. The other guy was an idiot for swerving instead of braking.

This looks like a poorly constructed track... both cars had less traction than an ice cube on a banana peel.

The driver and whoever allowed that car on the track without a proper harness are both idiots.

The guy who said "damn, that was a nice car" clearly had his priorities straight.

Why did the camaro push it? Should have lifted the throttle. Everything could have been avoided and both could have raced again.
