This is true .....lol  Save the beer !  I always say a race can change in a split second . This was one of those deals . Imagine sitting there and turning your head while your talking to your friends. You'd become an instant sprint runner.

yeah and leave the girlfriend behind you can get another

This happened at Peterborough many odd years ago when one of the can am midgets went over the wall and through the bottom of the fence when they let us stand right against it.  I think it ended up breaking a guys leg.  Now they have that second fence, allbeit only 4 or 5' back from the catch fence.  The bad thing about that fence is that they allow people to stand at it and block the view from the people sitting on the first couple rows of the stands with kids.

  Kawartha has a good catch fence, the 27 modified tested that out back in 2002 down in corner 2, on the video you can see a pole actually fall down, but the car went to the top of the fence and came back down still in the track.

A can am isn't the only one. 1998 - Thunder Car went over the fence at Peterborough

Barrie used to have two fences as well and that was lost along the way with all the renovations. Ben Lidstone punched a big hole in it last year at the beginning of the season in his Thunder car but didn't get through.

Don't get me started on my old rant about the lack of fencing of any kind between the Jersey-barrier walls and the big wooden billboards at Delaware but that is only a driver safety issue and not a fan safety thing.

I was at the truck race in Daytona in 2000 and sitting directly in front of where Geoff Bodine had his big crash. You don't want to feel the heat of the fire and see no fence at all after the incident. That could have been very bad. There was next to no time to react, of the three of us there, one guy dove and the other two of us kind of froze and one guy got tagged with a piece of something but it didn't do any damage.
