Martin started making phone calls to round up parts to help get the car back together again. The racing community once again stepped up to help one of their own in need.
“Christy at
Motor City Solutions was a huge help in getting all the carbon fiber parts we needed within a week.
Precision Turbo was able to secure the parts to fix the damage one of the turbos received in the crash and refresh the other one for us.
Fast Forward Racecars repaired the head that was damaged when the exhaust was ripped off in the crash. Rodney from
RPM Transmissions checked out the transmission to make sure it was fine.
RaceCraft was able to get us all the parts we needed that were damaged in the front end during the crash. Vince at
VRN Racecars got the rearend fixed and had the axles taken care of. It has been overwhelming to receive all this help from people in the racing world,” Martin says.
Tin Soldier has been in full-on thrash mode to get Section 8 ready for May 19 when it will race at the Battle of The Titans at Brian “Chucky” Davis’ Birthday Bash at
US 131 Motorsports Park. They’ve repaired all the suspension damage, re-done all the carbon fiber in the rear of the car, repaired the body, and are finishing up the turbo kit.
Getting Section 8 back on track has been a complete team effort and Martin is thankful he’s surrounded by so many amazing people.
“Tim Day co-owns the car with me and he does a lot of the work to keep it going, along with Doug Wagner. Josh Lindsey and Jason Moat do an amazing job tuning and without them, our success wouldn’t be possible. Our crew is really great and they work super-hard to make sure we can race; their assistance is what’s making this repair possible.”
