Circle Track Racing

Bender · 09-25-06, 07:37 PM

My buddy has an open wheel modified car and went to Toledo last weekend. I help sponsor the car so I like to follow his races. Unfortunately he had ignition problems and was running on 7 cylinders, not up to the 650hp that he is capable of and needed for a track like that, so he barely missed the feature. It was his first time at that track, so a good experience. Anyway he stuck around the watch the Supers run the Glass City 200, $10k to win.
Here is what happens when somebody drives like an idiot and knocks your $70k car into the wall:

Better, but doesn't work with Firefox:

Edit: the second one works with Firefox now that I installed the latest Flash player. Also this guy is not a good driver and almost got into a fight with another guy I know two years ago for hitting everybody.

My buddy races in a different class and was not in that race. I don't know all of the details about the past problems that they have had with the guy in the orange car, I just know that there have been many. This was a Super Late Model race, these guys have about $30k just in the engines.

It was on the Today show and MSNBC from what I hear.
Here is the guy's car that got wrecked:

This happened on a restart and the guy that hit him was a lap down even. The guy with the broken out windshield went into the pits and they asked all around if any of the cars that were already out of the race would let him borrow their windshields and EVERYBODY said no. Nobody wanted that guy on the track.
