Default Z28 knockout!!!!!!! My sad story!

Two weeks ago I went to the dragstrip only to find they rained it out. Rain started after my arrival. So i debated driving home in the rain even though I had never driven with "ET STREETS" combined with h20 yet. I made it 10 miles. Car went sideways on hydroplane at 30mph. I was ok until I hit driveway embankment with drivers side front tire. Needless to say it hurt! I hit the top of my head on roof of car knocking myself out for 5 to 10 min. Yes I even had my seatbelt on. It was a very heavy rain and a bad choice. Please dont drive "ET STREETS" on anything but complete dry pavement. The tires were brand new and never raced on. I only sustained a bad headache and thank God it was only by myself. Dented front fender and broken wheel and suspension parts. Bent flp header drivers side. Special thanks to Ohio State Patrol.

Wow man, that could have been deadly.

A kill story nonetheless. Sometimes I forget too with MT Radials.

i have m/t streets on my car and one night i got stuck in a little sprinkle if anything and taking off from a stoplight was a task in itself.
