Damaged rear

Featured Replies

I was cleaning up and found the right rear suspension from my racecar that was ripped from the car in my cartwheel wreck last August. I guess the force was more than I thought. Here's what's left:

It was sitting to the left of the car - see the wreckage in my gallery - photo labeled 'Bad Luck at Gateway'.

Very funny! Hey if you can't laugh about it, you're being way too serious. While it was happening - all in slow motion, I couldn't help thinking 'hmmm, the grass shouldn't be at the top of my windshield...', then... BAM, it was over. Yes, I did walk away - actually ran away - the car was smoking - nothing burnt, just steam and hot oil. Immediately flipped all electrical switches off and bailed. Jumped to the wall and ran to the corner station.

Engine was ok - will use again next year - the body was trashed.

I do have to crack my back every so often and I had a torn muscle in my left abdomen, but other than that I can't wait to get back out there.

That's an old Rugby saying - had to give that up because it was too dangerous - racing is much safer :classic:
