BASHED IN and SUMMERSAULTING OFF THE RAILS
Hi,
'There was another stuff going on. Dirt track stock car racing on cool summer nights, mostly '49 or '50 Fords, BASHED IN CARS, COFFIN CONTRAPTIONS, humpbacked cages with roll bars and fire extinguishers- seats taken out, doors welded shut-bumpin' and rumblin', slammin' and swivelin' on a half mile track, SUMMERSAULTING OFF THE RAILS ...'
Could someone explain me these expressions?
Thanks in advance, Jo.

Hi,
Just a minor note that 'summersault' is correctly spelled 'somersault'.
Best wishes, Clive
