It's done...
It's done...
Well, first race of the season.. was having a few problems. (car going left on first pass, motor ate some plugs on the next pass, nitrous gauge wasn't working properly (we think)).
First round of eliminations, i've actually got lane choice.
Out of the hole the car started going left towards the centerline, thought I could drive through it.. Got REAL close to the centerline from what Joe said.. and by the time I got out of it, it was too late..
Ended up stuffing the car into the wall at a pretty good clip, tore the front and rear passenger side all to hell. When I saw that I was going to hit the wall/rail first reaction is to brace myself, which I did with my feet and the motor shot to the moon.. Didn't realize that I had even done this until I came down from the guardrail.. (people told me that the rear of the car was about 4 feet in the air). I finally got out of the gas..
Overall the car is shot, but motor and I are fine (I'm a little sore, but it could've been much worse hitting the rail at over 100mph).
I've got pics, will try to get them up and wouldn't be surprised if someone ends up putting up a video at some point..
Going to sit back and figure out what to do with the motor/car..
going to sleep now..

Damn....that sucks. Your car was moving out too! But its great that you are OK...thats THE most important part. Im sure youll find another donor chassis to throw the salvageable parts in... along with that stout motor.
Very sorry to hear that man.
