that is incredible you walked away. glad to hear youre healing and going to be ok. sucks they didnt catch who cut you off.


i bought a RSD 6 pt bolt in roll bar. i bought it because i was planning on getting into half mile racing and this shows it was a sound investment for safety i hope i or anyone else ever needs.

You were endorsing that bar almost exactly two months ago in my thread when I was asking about a bar for a vert to run quarter miles, you didn't have to prove to me it would work! I trust and respect your opinion as I have read lots of your posts and you are always helpful and informative!

But in all seriousness I'm very happy for you and your family in this holiday season that you are in one piece, I hope you recover fully and stay safe. More than that bar saved your life

Thank you for posting your experience, it will help us all, as your posts always do.

Thanks
Adam

I have been thinking about a roll cage for my C6. Now I think I will get one. I was just thinking about it because they won't let verts on my local track without one. Now it makes sense for every day driving.

I'm just glad you are alive and going to make it buddy.

Cars can be rebuilt or replaced. Lives can't.

Matt from the pic,s I am glad you did have the roll bar in the car. I just can't believe so many people just went by and didn't stop to try to help.
Well glad the truck driver stop and help a little any way.

WOW Matt, so sorry this happened to you. Glad you're still alive, and thank God for the roll bar, one of the first mods I did to my C5. Please let me know if there's something I can do, no promises, but I'll try to help you out if I can!!

I've got as a H/C C6, it's a stick, and I'm not quite ready to sell, but who know...

Please get well soon, nobody does better write-ups then you.

At first when I started reading I thought it was at the track and the other guy crossed the center line- wow- on the street. Glad you were able to walk away.
Best of luck for a quick recovery...

That is well worth it and a great investment - a new Roll-Bar is the first purchase I make for my new Vette too!

You're welcome and I really appreciate it Adam!

Get it and Wolfe has it for the C6 as well, if you decide to go with them - in the C5 drop down box it has the C6's listed there or just call and talk to Brian -Tell him Matt sent you "ALL"!

Me too and I agree! Thank you so much

Me too Robert - I wish I could of gotten the truck operators name and number, I feel I owe him a lot! and I really mean that!

Thank you so much Ivan and I really appreciated the text buddy!

Healing as well as can be expected and so good so far, thank you so much!

Thanks,Matt

Thank you so much Joel and I appreciate it very much, your Vette I wouldn't hesitate to get from you, the only thing I need a Auto -
But I appreciate the words and offer so very much buddy!

Thank you buddy! Me too!

No, it was the double yellow on the 'Freeway', not even the street - I appreciate the words of encouragement!

And the world will only get worse - but there are good people out there - here on the forum and elsewhere - Get that Roll-Bar or Cage!!!!

Thank you buddy and I tend to agree with you!
Has anyone heard from Arun? He helped me so much too!

Thanks,Matt

To let alone survive that and still be with your family is a blessing in itself. Happy holidays and a speedy recovery and return to the road.

Looking at the pics first, one would not believe you walked away from that roll over.

I've seen some bad wrecks on the track and that is right up there with them. So glad to hear no serious injuries.

Speedy recovery and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours.
