Default Wreck at SAR red formula

For those of you who werent out at the track last night, i just wanted to share a little bit about what happened and i guess clear the air a bit. theres a lot of speculation as to what happen to my car, and once we tear into it we will figure it out. We suspect a locked up transmission.I was on my final run of the night and about the 1000ft mark something broke in the car and sent me into a spin. I hit the wall 2 times and spun. at this time the car is not in good shape. i will be posting pictures over the next few days. i just wanted to thank everyone that was out there and caring about my safety and getting down track to make sure i was ok. it meant alot to hear the kind words and hugs and handshakes to know that everyone was worried so i thank you all.


also dont want to forget a big thanks to danny out at lethal performance for letting me take my car there for the night after the wreck and also to ryan out at lethal performance for the use of his truck and trailer. any thing you guys need you let me know!
