It's a shame when it's a sticky....
I've gone round and round with the 5th gen guys trying to warn them, but they won't listen. You would think that now they might get the idea, but from what I've read on their website...............well, it just makes my head hurt

I would however, like to publicly thank Owen and his band of monkey *** retards for making Sealy an exciting experience for everybody every time

Sucks to see that happen to anyone. Chris is a good guy, glad to hear he is okay. He loved that Camaro. I'd suspect this is just another case of boost greed. The car had a Whipple on it, made high power. Quite a few 5th gen owners just don't get it, they think you can keep doing pulley swaps and adding more nitrous to these LS3/L99 engines and not have any KABOOMs happen.

Thanks for your concern which is what this thread should be about. He's probably got some broken ribs and will know after x-rays, but the car wasn't of much importance after what we saw last night. Safety equipment probably saved his life. I took video w/ the owners camera and he has the GoPro in tact. I seriously doubt they will be posted, but I'm sure there are others out there.

I thought everyone knew that the LMP track sucks much less having to deal with greased tires, unless theyve improved it around mid track there used to be a pretty decent bump but I havent been back in a long time due to all the problems people were having.

Think LMP needs to extend the wall all the way down the track. Car could be in better shape as well as driver if it hadnt jumped a guardrail, and flipped 4 times. The track seems to be good for built cars, its just not a street friendly track. That Fairlane ran pretty good last night, but think it should be faster than 9's.

I've been sideways with only 435rwhp and gears down track in my old C5.
Somebody needs to put up the money and build us another track. RPR lines get up to 2+hours long. Dallas Raceway looks like the ****. They have 2-3 tracks up there that are decent.

I took a few pics, but with the stock flash they're a little dark.
Here's the pics of the 2010 that wrecked.
I've got a few more of non-wrecked cars here:

I was quite surprised when I heard the driver walked out of this one. I didn't see the flip cause I was putting away a lens in my car when it happened. I just heard everyone "ooooooooo" and rushed towards the fence to see what happened.
I'm glad the driver is ok-ish. Hope he doesn't have anything broken after the x-rays.

Exactly why I will not run at the track. No ******* way on 275/40-17 drag radials. And no changes have been made and that bump is still there. The place is a pos and needs to be resurfaced, and have concrete walls all the way down the track. If not, it needs to be an 1/8 track again.

RPR (1/4)
Houston Motorsports Park (1/8)
Evadale (1/4)
Pinevalley (1/4)
Sealy (1/4)
I really like Evadale, Very friendly track and works very well

I've heard that Evadale is fast, and that the prep is actually decent. I'm going to have to make the drive and check it out. Is it nice and does it have concrete walls?
