race45 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Thanks to all who have called with concerns. I am a little sore and my wife says I have bruises on my neck from the helmet chin strap. She says she may hurt me if I wreck like that again. We are considering our options on what to do next. The frame is bent severely behind the right front wheel. thanks Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwinn12x Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Clare im sorry I didn't get to stay any longer to help you load up but I had a wife getting sick to her stomach from something she had ate earlier. I can relate to hitting that wall and vouch for you IT DOESNT MOVE! If I can help you in any way please don't hesitate to come see me.. Maybe if you can find the dimensions for the frame we can pull it on my frame machine? ? just a thought, but usually when they bend behind the suspension they are FUBAR and impossible to ever straighten. Let me know. Thanks, ivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiTech Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 It might be time to figure out how to put safety wall that would divert a car away from type of impact ..I know it cost but even I have worried about hitting that area every time I was on that track .its the no no wall ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Actually, HiTech, that wall was reconfigured several years ago from an even more precarious configuration. Many of the tracks up North that use the "no walls in the turns" layout partially solved the issue of how/where to start the front straight wall by providing an off camber paved area - maybe 20-30 wide - that starts where the wall begins and is avoided like the plague by drivers since it's off-camber by several degrees. It does give that 20-30 feet of space to brake, spin, or whatever, before you hit the wall. A wall is a wall no matter where it is and one of the great features of CTS is that there are no walls in the turns where most folks get in trouble and a nice dirt banking on the back straight.

HiTech Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 YEP we found that nice dirt banking this year call Joshua rocket man or the flying goomba plow driver dirt farmer what ever fits ..,, yes I know what you are saying and that area with the tracks configuration makes its a challenge and all drivers hope to never go there .but when they do it hurts .I wont cannot and am not knocking the track I love the place just don't have much luck there ..lol .

outlaw Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Glad you are OK Clare that looks like it was one heck of ride. Maybe the track would want to consider bolting the tires together like they do on road courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
