Today I watched the AEM car crach.

Post by 1994GSR »

Today I attended the second day of the NHRA Time Trials in Chandler, AZ. I watched a beautiful car crash. Luckly the motor was okay for the most part. The tubro back exhaust was bent up, both fenders gone, broken front carbon rotors, flat rear left tire...but the driver was all good. I'm sure the sponsors aren't very happy with the chunch of change they will be spending on repairs.

Yesterday the car was only pulling low 8's. I went over by the trailer right after the crash and the crew cheif was on the phone with with upper management telling them the cause was track related. There was synthetic oil left behind after preveous run. The track crew made an hour long attemp to clean it and re-prep it but didn't do a good enough job. about 2/3 of the way down the track the car veard left into the wall, bounced off and slammed into the right wall. Fuckin' horrible.
