Guest Jonnygts Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 I was at MCIR yesterday and there was this white Mustang that had a majpr crash. He ran like 10.24 at 129 then he hit a wall flew in the air, while his car was falling apart, then he took out a lamp pole, and ended up at least 20 feet off the track. I'm not sure but my friend asked the paramedics if he was allright and they said that he had some broken ribs and some other minor injuries, but if he survived thats amazing. Car looked like it was thrown in a trash compactor. The rear tires were like 3 feet from the front ones. [ 17.

Alex1647545498 Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 That's pretty crazy. Good for him that he's alive. vid/pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRE Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 hitting a mcir pot hole or shrubbery at the end of the track is dangerous, maybe he swerved to miss a deer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwishiwascool Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 maybe they will fix the fucking potholes at the end of the track now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jonnygts Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 No vids or pics. For some reason no one got anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 That is not the first crash there. Anyone know Steve Cotton? He is paralyzed from the waste down from an accident up there. Bill and Kathy will never put any real money in to fixing the track the right way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Maybe someone should encourage this person to sue. That might wake them up to fix up the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevil Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Wow! Hopefully the guy is OK. About what year Mustang? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFKINPowerz Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 I doubt anyone suing them will make them fix the track. They would just close it down. We have been trying to get them to fix the track since the early 90's. That place used to be the place to go. There were a lot of fast cars there and just about everyone was a regular. They are all gone now and they still have not taken the hint. It really is a shame because if he put some money in that place he could rake in the cash. Everyone would start going back.

Spacecaptan Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 my dad's been close with bill and shelby since he moved to ohio and he's also good friends with aaron wright(he has a camaro that wheelstands pretty good and races there alot, he also helps them anytime they want to do something to try to make the track better) anyway, aaron said he talked bill into repaving the track from the 100ft out, but i've also heard they they are just going to fix the area after the finish. either way it should be a great improvement if they ever do it. (it was supposed to get done last week, but somebody didn't show up or something happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 They have been saying that they were going to do that for 12 years. I know Aaron also. Hopefully he was able to talk them in to doing something with that place. As I said before if they would actually invest the $ to fix it up then it would be a great place to race and also be a big $ maker for them. Lets see if they actually go through with it this time.

Akula Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Actually National Dragster, or Drag Review had an article from IHRA stating they are going to resurface and correct many problems with this track or it will loose IHRA backing. I hope it happens, back in the day it was a big track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jonnygts Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Yeah, I hope that happens too cause I am not going back there anytime soon. If they do fix it up, I will go back again. Their loss, not mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 thats too bad to hear... thats horrible I hope everything is ok with him. Its always a tradgedy to hear about someone getting hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacecaptan Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 it is just what i've heard, but as far as i know they are going to repave at least after the finish if not from the 100ft out. i really hope they do it too. if they lose their IHRA backing bill will probably just wave bye bye and close it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest monkey4sale321 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I was at the MCIR friday too! Yeah from what i've been hearing, the guy broke his shoulder and is alright. and I wish i could vid or pics but i didnt, but i hope that guy was safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Well it is about time. I really used to love going to Marion back in the day but it is just downright dangerous now. It is a shame that Bill and Kathy dont care enough about the people that race there to have already fixed it. It took IHRA backing out on them to actually get some results and make sure people had a safe place to race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
