He was transported to the hospital, but I haven't found information on whether he was hurt badly or if it's just for observation.

Looks like it came down pretty gently all things considered. Glad he's ok!

Any update on his physical condition? I heard that he got out of the car on his own but no details beyond that. Hope he is okay. That was a hard landing.

I just googled Tommy Youmans crash and several videos came up. Dragzine has one also.

I hope he has a full recovery and is able to get back in a car at some point. That looked like a rough ride.

Lucky to be alive.
After it bounced the first time at 1/2 track the run should have been over.
Very lucky that the car basically was on a shuttle glide path 30+ feet off the ground
and landed flat.

Guy needs to go to church and say a prayer thanking the man up stairs.

JC, running either 3s or 4s shouldn't the car have wheelie bars? Prayers for Tommy and family.
