<<No car hits the wall at 230 miles per hour and he probably did dot hit
the wall at 150 in Chicago. The spin and or heavy under steer scrubs off
great amounts of speed.>>

Duh.

<<While the 123G hit probably correct that was the initial impact "to
the car", by the time the impact reaches the driver has to be under 75g
or guess what Mauricio would be dead. >>

What's the HANS got to do with it?

The point is the car and safety equipment absorbed the impact. A NASCAR
car has little more saftey equipment than many Mod and Prepared cars,
save fire control, and isn't designed to absorb energy as it falls
apart.
