saturday night, so, I thought I would fill you in on what
happened with a few more details.
The car looked like this
before I drove the car!!
As mentioned I did spin the car on the 1st lap of the 1st corner
on the 1st practice session, then on the 2nd session all went well.
Well, did I mention I spun in the 1st session I spun again in the
qualifing session ( I guess I did not learn the 1st time) "Bad Dad".
So, I started 15th out of 18 and we took the green flag (im happy)
smiling in the helmet so big I can hardly see the 1st turn. I am
still smiling down the back stretch when I failed to see the 16 cars
in front of me wrecking in turn 3.
(did I mention all but 2 cars were involved)
"Yes" the entire field was wrecking!!! hmm... I think it`s
time to panic stop this race car but, the car has lots and lots
of rear brake set up in the car so, around the car went
yep!! spun again, weeee (not) after crashing driver side 1st
into someone and getting rear ended at the same time I no
longer had a smile ( BUT MY EYES JUST ABOUT
POPPED OUT OF MY HEAD), holy smokes !!! what happened?
I drove into the pits Joe and the guys looked the car over and
determined we only had body damage no suspension damage.
So, back to the track (weeee) again, having fun again!!
After the race Dan from RC Racing decals (the new owner)
came by with his beautiful wife and family and looked at
his damaged wrap , smiled, and said make sure we have
the car for a few days.
Steve the designer of the wrap looked it over
and is ready to section in the damaged pieces, that is the
advantage to the wrap, they can replace and butt up to
the good section and get a exact match regardless of the
size or shape color or lines.
I damaged the entire left side, split the dash in half, crushed
the interrior sheet metal and smashed all the braces.
Here are some of the photos of the car with then entire side
being replaced from my first and last time in my car.
IT WAS FUN!!!
now it looks like this.. .. but, it was still fun.
The car wil be on display Sept 26th thru the 28th in
Henderson at the car show, come by and say hi!!!
stay tuned for the fall classic results when "Joe"
"the real driver gets back in the car".
