Default Milan crash!!! Vid and pics. 4.75 @ 160 mph

Milan crash. Vid and pics. http://s638.photobucket.com/albums/u...t=IMG_2439.mp4



This was at milan MI a grudge event.


I want to thank everyone who helped out after the wreck!!! Can't remember everyone but THANK YOU!!!! Also eveyone who stopped by to see if I was ok and say sorry. A bunch of you guys are really stand up guys!!!!!!

I'm sore as hell but will be fine. Crotch strap got me the worse!! Not kidding. Neck, back and arms are sore but not a big deal. The car is lookiing a little screwed up. I just got home and started to check it out, it might be twisted. Pretty sure I hit the wall between 155-160. It twisted enough to pop one of the t tops out.

It sucks about the car , but coming home to give my kids and wife a hug was the most important!! Set on Kill crew you guys are the best, thanks again!!! Eworks and crew too!!

Alot of time and money into the car but I will get it back out. Not this year but will be reeady for early spring. I have great people behind me. It's a shame the car went the quickest ever to the 1/8th. 4.75 @ 160 mph!! The car was absolutely flying!!!

All I have to say guys,,,,, have the saftey equipment and use it!!!!! When I was headed for the wall is a scary feeling. I pull my belts so tight they hurt, not kidding!

Good to hear you walked away from that, hitting a wall at 160mph could have had a much, much worst result.

Always hate to see this but glad you are alright the car can be replaced! What caused it to take such a sudden right turn, is the track bumpy there and it unloaded the tires?

Sorry to hear about this Andy, but I am glad you are OK. You never want to have to use safety gear, but if you do you want it to do its job. If I can help in any way, just let me know.

Both cars look like they hit a slick spot. Probably was dew. Sucks to see, but glad you are ok and can walk away from it.

As I told you last night, the only important thing is you walked away to live another day. It does suck about the car, but it can be re built. You can't. If I can help with anything, just ask.
