Default Flipped "Blazonic"
Well, I made a decent run (5.95 @ 117) and it went to hell in a hand basket. the radiator hose blew off right before the 1000ft mark but I thought i had it saved and the steering shaft broke from all the hard left right left... once that broke it was all over and it went onto its lid. thankfully the cage did its job and It was slowed way down from with all the sliding back and forth. no major damage just some sheet metal work for the most part. and the sliding on the lid cut all the wiring to the switch box.

Nitrous Bottle took out the window and made the Dent... (note to self, bigger bolts to mount and nitrous line is TOUGH)



Didn't even break the hood

^ that's good...

anyway, usually after i have a adrenaline rush like that i reflect back and think that it was one wild ride, and i'm lucky things were in my favor...Fun may have been the wrong word, but don't get so butthurt over it...

The fact that the nitrous bottle came loose would scare me more than anything.

Man that sucks!!! I hope you are all right.

I'm glad it slid rather than tumble. The proper safety equipment saved your a$$.

Good luck!

Glad to see that you are alright daniel. I caught word from a friend at the track that you put it on your top.


Glad it is still in good enough shape that it will be back together again!
