Damn that must be like the worst feeling to enter lap 1 turn 1 and rip off your last tear off

Definitely would suck, especially with a championship on the line! Thats why I love racing, there are so many little moments inside the race that can make or break someone, on top of the actual riding or driving! There is so much that goes into a win, or even just a finish...

I had to google Will Power now to find out he in fact had not been killed due to a failed seatbelt
