That's scary. I think I wiped out at that exact area but I was still on the track. When I hit the dirt, luckily I was only going backwards.

Yeah, you really have to be careful about going off into the car sideways at speed. If I think I'm gonna go off track, I just straighten out the car and hang on for the ride.

Does anybody know if he was really handicapped? Or if that was joke that he put up the placard in his window afterwards.

He lost control going over the top. He had too much speed, turned the wheel to try and stay on track. This cause the car to pitch sideways as it went sliding off track. Tires sliding sideways tend to dig into the ground rather then roll over it.
