Had it on the lift today, nothing broke.
Guess we overpowered the track or just hit a slick spot.

Eric should have video up in a few days.
Interested to see what it looked like from outside the car.

man that sucks

The way the car went sideways so fast seems as if something was on the track IMO.

good luck getting it back together to drop the record

Sorry to hear, but at least you made it out in one piece. Been there, done that. Cars can be replaced, lives can't (R.I.P Dan Wheldon)..

Definitely sucks, and I didn't see any kind of issue either, I mean it was right now and bamm??
As said, much rather have it happen then, instead of at 1200'.

Good luck, and hope you make it!!!

Thanks guys.


Last thing we ever think about taking is a video camera.
Just lucky someone we knew was there with one or you would have to take our word on it hitting the wall I guess. LOL !

I actually witnessed live on the streaming video they had going Friday night. I was going to post on here but I figured I would leave that up to ya'll. It just turned left and would not stop when you were on the brakes. It looked like you had gotten coolant under the tires it turned so fast. I couldn't tell from the video how bad it was hurt.

Good lucking getting it fixed and ready for the import vs domestic.

that is annoying! glad the damage isnt to bad. It seems like there was a drag radial vette that took a hard right seemingly for no reason not to long ago... Good luck getting it back together.
