someone said he already ran a 10.xx and was doing something about a license run...not sure what that means...just overheard some guys talking. with what i heard that car will do, i would assume the 10.xx he ran was his "slow" run

he was just slowly trying to learn the car, and got faster a little at a time, just didnt do it slow enough i guess. He did have a 9 or 8 second vett that he sold before he got that.

guess he said he got off the groove on the launch, lifted, straightened it out then stabbed the throttle again, this time it went back on the wheelie bars and went out of control then hit the wall.

Taken from teh owner Sean:

Damage to me: I have some bruised ribs, a bruised kidney, and a bruised right lung.

 

Damage to equipment: The helmet worked. It has a big crack in the back of it now. The firesuit was cut off of me at the track.

 

Damage to the car: Rear hatch , side window, and windshield shattered, console and shifter smashed (by my body), dash is a little bent, whole right side is tweaked.

 

What happened: The car was on a pretty good pass but went a little left of center (I was in the left lane). When I got it back in the groove, I got down on it again. The car went back onto its wheelie bars at about 600 feet out! It took a hard right into the wall. The EMTs estimated the impact speed of about 130. Lee (previous owner) said the car was on about an 8.20 pass.

 

The car is rebuildable and will be rebuilt ASAP. It will need new paint, too. I need about a month to heal, per doctor's orders.

 

Damn, I hurt....a lot.

well, now that i can see the pic

 

yeah, not as bad as it was made out as. we only walked down to the end of the bleechers and went to the top and couldnt see much so i assumed it wasnt too good. good thing he is ok and the car is fixable. it sounded like a beast and was nice to see it still in one piece

 

hopefully we'll see him out there at another friday night event
