Default Northstar Raceway... Accident
Was that any of you guys there with the murdered out formula....? That was like a stab to the heart seeing a fellow F-body driver hit the wall... Dont let your pride get down, fix it and get it back out there.

From what I've heard it messed up the front end quite a bit but nothing that can't be fixed and the driver is alright.

I am fine and that is all that matters. Neck is a little sore and chest hurts from the harness. Could have been a lot worse. Video showed the car on 2 wheels (Driver side ones) when it made the sharp right hand turn.
I plan on taking it apart this week or next, then take it to the ody shop.
Fender and bumper are the main iterms. And some metal supports.
At least nothing mechanical was damaged. Turbo kit is OK, motor is OK.
Thanks to all of those that asked. I am fine. Wll be down for a month or so.
