zoom Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 After having the opportunity to make the acquaintance of the wall at SAS saturday, I will say that I am very humbled and impressed by the people who make up the racing community. I was offered all kinds of help and parts. I want to say publicly a very big THANK YOU to everyone. I think that the general public is missing a great aspect of our American society by not getting more involved in auto racing. For all you racers and pit help and sponsors out there. Thanks. You guys made a very bad situation a whole bunch better. Thanks again. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASPEEDRACER24 Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Well Im glad to see that you made out ok. Think of it this way since the car is white you dont need to repaint it... BTW the new vinal letters looked good now about that trunk... How bad is the car beat up other than the obvious stuff that was found out at the track?

zoom Posted June 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Smacked it hard enough to peel the right lower control arm mounts halfway off the frame. Bent the cross member, crushed the headers, broke the starter in two, and curled the steering arm in a 90 degree angle. Have to reclip the car. Trunk is in fine-fine shape. I had my choice between white and red for car color, so I had a 50% chance of getting it right. LOL I will tell you this. That wall knows it has been hit!

Mel Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Hey Zoom, Any chance the track would allow the Sportsman cars to run a stock rear spoiler? Sure does make the camaro's look a whole lot sportier. Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KELLY83 Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 97 car.... almost at Rose Bowl and almost at Devils Bowl... but all of mine were at Lone Star. I have rubbed it EVERYWHERE! But I have good licks on it on the front straight, turn 1, turn 2, the back straight, turn 3, turn 4, and some slight bumps on the inside wall at verious locations of the track. Lone Star has so much more concrete than dirt and I seem to find every bit of it. We're becoming friends except for the broken, cracked, and bruised ribs, the unconcious times, and the others were I just felt like a whooped dog. I almost rather get hit by the lightening again than tangle with the concrete anymore. I think the next time I go out there I'm just gonna flat foot it into the wall while packing the track so I can get it over with for the night. That way I can load up and go home to get an early start on the healing process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
