This wreck was at Baylands Raceway in Fremont, Ca. The race track is no longer there.
He was wearing his racing harness, which actually amazingly tore form the mounts.
It appeared that one of the leaf springs shackles broke loose causing it to go all over the place.
The car belonged to his son (Rob Renfro) and this was the cars first track run. Ron emerged completely unhurt from the car as it "dumped" him safely on the ground.
The car was a total loss except for a handful of parts.
