Scottie-GNZ Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 After a long illness, my dad passed away early Tuesday morning and looking for a diversion, I took the car out last night. It was on a good pass, had a little wiggle at half-track and suddenly broke loose at about the 1000' mark. Took a hard right and hit the wall at a 45* angle at an estimated 150mph. Hard to say what happened but probably a moot point. 12+hrs later and I am feeling no ill effects other than slight soreness in the neck, thanks to all the safety equipment. Guys, this is a testament to having the proper safety equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
