Damaged rear

[hmsports]

I was cleaning up and found the right rear suspension from my racecar that was ripped from the car in my cartwheel wreck last August. I guess the force was more than I thought. Here's what's left:

It was sitting to the left of the car - see the wreckage in my gallery - photo labeled 'Bad Luck at Gateway'.

Ouch!!! Hope you walked away from it.

Very funny! Hey if you can't laugh about it, you're being way too serious. While it was happening - all in slow motion, I couldn't help thinking 'hmmm, the grass shouldn't be at the top of my windshield...', then... BAM, it was over. Yes, I did walk away - actually ran away - the car was smoking - nothing burnt, just steam and hot oil. Immediately flipped all electrical switches off and bailed. Jumped to the wall and ran to the corner station.

Engine was ok - will use again next year - the body was trashed.

I do have to crack my back every so often and I had a torn muscle in my left abdomen, but other than that I can't wait to get back out there.

"That which does not kill us makes us stronger".

That's an old Rugby saying - had to give that up because it was too dangerous - racing is much safer :classic:
