Mattsv8 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Yes I believe that one is mike brown. Icould be wrong on the name. Sad to see I've seen that car in person when bill tullis was updating the cage. Nice ride for shure I'm shure they will get it fixed.

wagner Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Oh shit, that is what is left of Mike Brown's car... Edit: "Well, in the semi final round Mike was on a good pass, but got into his own oil on the top end and ended up hitting the wall. Good news is Mike is just fine, the car...not so much. Thank goodness for all the safety equipment, and fast response by the MIR safety crew." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKilbourne Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 One more reason to get a cage soon. Nowhere near that fast, but anything over 100 isn't a good idea to hit anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil8 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Just talked to Bill, he states Mike is sore and the car looks repairable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Saw these cars at ifo..funny listening to people talk about them being slow, as they ran low 11s (may have been faster) going 330ft full throttle and coasting the rest of the way haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really easy to tell when those guys let off and coast. Must be that stupid. I will never go back to that stupid fest for many reasons, but this just adds to the list. Wow.

I will never go back to that stupid fest for many reasons, but this just adds to the list. Wow. Yeah my brother in law told one kid to stfu cause he was an idiot, he then had to explain to the kid that they were only going 330ft and then basically coasting the rest of the way to an 11 second pass. We went and talked to the ohio boys and they were pretty cool. They talked to us about our cars and shit, not like they really cared but it was cool none the less haha. Not to turn this into an IFO thread, but that event is a cluster fuck of an event for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
