FRANK...you lost me at CRASH, i've long heard some people got to raceing to see crashes. maby it's just my generation, but i don't see the attraction...POP.
It's only attractive in Nascar... that shit's truly boring man. In way of what went wrong... for that car to change direction so quickly, i'd say the four link, or whatever his rear suspension is made of broke in a bad way, yanking the rear over and rear wheel steering it into the wall. That was a dramatic turn! No correcting outta that one, just shut that mofo down. -Chris
Looks like some terrorist shit there. Maybe he was a sucide bomber hired to take out camera man waiting for CRASH. HMM????? LOL!! Looks like camera man had a good spot for video. Sucks for driver. I seen the same thing happen at a track here about 25 years ago, Guy had a 55 chevy and shortened the wheelbase crazy and smacked right into the wall in front of us. The car was cool looking before the crash, my brother offered him 50 bucks for it and all he got was the bird LOL!!!
Was a fuel leak coming out the front of the car.. Congrat's Frank.. Glad it was you standing on the wall and NOT me Frank.. TV eh? Couldn't happen to a better videographer.. Rick =======================================
Well, I'm impressed. I would have thrown that camera on the track and dropped to the ground with browned britches. WTG Frank! So, what's up with these cars? Are they taking pro-mod cars and putting "AA/GAS" on the window and calling it "nostalgia"????
My thoughts are similar; Could someone explain, in great detail more about the "hot rod reunion?" (And i'm not knocking it in any way) Because i'm pretty sure that 68 camaros and 55 T-birds used in drag racing did not have tube frames 16 wide slicks, wings, and alcohol engines with 8-71 blowers until recently and thus i would intrinsically denote them inappropriate for a "reunion" type event. a) the 55 t-bird came out way before the existence of the Pro Stock Class. b) The 68 camaro was in pro stock and in fact was the first stock bodied car under 10 secs.---- 9.98 by Bill jenkins. But it didn;'t have no 16inch wide slicks under there. So, i don't understand.
[SIZE=-1]"Cecil Matthews provided some bottom end excitement on Saturday when a massive fuel leak (see above) soaked the right rear tire and sent the new T-Bird AA/GS car into an immediate right turn across the track. The car was a bit banged up but Matthews was fine... no so much his wallet."[/SIZE] http://wediditforlove.com/2009-CHRR-8.html
