He never claimed weather was a factor but there was a significant 
adverse wind.  Gusting from the west.  This was minutes before they 
decided not to run the unlimited race final due to wind and turbulence.  
The failure occurred while he was headed easterly near the home pylon.   
He attempted make a right turn back to 26.  He was still not aligned 
with the runway when he ran out of altitude and caught the wing tip.  
Makes you think twice about trying to return to your departure runway 
after an engine failure on take off.

He never explained how he converted 2K feet of altitude into a 
cartwheel??  Personally I prefer landing on the wheels and not the wing 
tips.  :>)

There was an seminar at Sun and Fun years ago where they talked about 
how to best crash an airplane without a suitable place to land...and 
this guy did it...a cartwheel.  The energy is dissipated more slowly and 
the G Forces are minimized.  They looked at a number of crashes and 
found that in those that cartwheeled, the pilot walked away.  Your comments?
