wagner Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Well Ray decided he wanted to try and put on a drift contest on a drag strip. He did a hell of a job wheeling the car and almost saved it. Most important Ray is okay and the car is fixable. I still need to pull the surviving go-pros footage, we lost one in the wreck that was facing forward. They found it down past the quarter mile mark in the bushes. It hit so had that it ejected the memory card out and split the case Go Pro Footage Edited November 12, 2014 by Wagner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Mike sent me a text about this. Was glad to hear that he was ok. He damn near kept her off the wall. I wish all tracks had response that quickly. He wasn't even stopped yet and two trucks are on the track racing towards him. That is how it should be done.

Yeah their on track safety crew is great, everybody else sucks. It just dumped to much fluid under the tires, looks like some type of transmission failure. I've got a bunch of stuff to take care of but will have in car and bumper footage at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to have that level of response because there are about 30 crashes during the weekend... Its and awesome event, but its carnage in a way...Since there is so much racing to complete, and everyone is full bore for records...

koolrayz Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Not the weekend I had hoped for but I guess it could have been worse. I don't have a sore muscle in my body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man, we're just glad you're okay and the car is fixable. I guess Brian could have grabbed a shovel and had a mini funeral for the Go Pro. Did you figure out what failed on the trans cooler? You could see a huge cloud of shit right before the dance started. Which took more damage, the car, or your suit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolrayz Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 needs a trip to the chassis shop first. Body shop/paint will be the last stop, hopefully late winter/early spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKilbourne Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 It looks like Ray is on a casual cruise while trying to keep her off the wall! One handed quick spins back and forth of the steering wheel. Could have been a hell of a lot worse if he would have panicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbracing81 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I like how prior to the incident it looks like Ray is just out for a Sunday cruise. No big deal, I'll just run down here to the end of the track for some milk and eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
