ugh, it hurts to see that. hopefully you're alright. looks like the damage is superficial and can be fixed.
was that clicking sound a flat or corded tire? and did that lead to what happened....or was it just one of those "shit happens" moments?

Not really sure, I've been chassing that clicking sound all season. Started end of last year. I _think_ it might be a torn torque box now, if so, and it let go mid corner it would explain why my super stunna drift went so bad. I'm fine, the passenger airbag went off (didn't have the driver side in, thank good). My seats/harnesses did the trick, no part of my body slammed into anything hard. Seats kept me from flopping around and the harness's kept me in said seat. Now that I've been through this, it is even more important that those running fast cars/in the advanced group NEED roll bar/seats/harnesses, it just becomes one of those 'must haves'. I'm going to price out fixing this mess up, depending on the total I may scrounge up a 99-04 shell, gut it, send it down to piper for a full cage then swap my drivetrain/suspension over to it and ditch this body. Either way, a full cage is going in the car before I got out again. It could have been A LOT worse. With the wet grass I didn't want to cut the wheel to much for fear of flipping.

Jesus, Chad, I'm sorry. But it's awesome that you're OK. Hope that everything works out...should we be on a lookout for a shell?

Wow Chad. Sorry to hear. Hopefully it'll all come back together quickly enough, though.
And just in short order for winter... could be worse.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

did your rear swing into the wall, or was all the damage caused by running off??? Just glad you got through it without rolling, and no one was riding along to get that airbag in their face.

looked like rear connected first, then as the rear rebounded away the front hit, hence damage to front and rear but not middle. Makes sense considering the el dorifto action into the slip and slide and the angle of approach toward the rail.
Unk would want to know if Chad saw the guardrail or if he was looking for the track pavement  . Sorry, I know this sucks but hopefully everybody can learn from this. I fear the day that I go through this, but it is best to know that both of our MMers got away personally unscathed and in such a fashion that it wasn't a total loss.

Makes sense considering the el dorifto action into the slip and slide and the angle of approach toward the rail. Your assestment is correct. Rear hit the guard rail, spun me around and nailed the front. I never saw it coming, I was still looking for pavement and driving upuntil the end.
