Technical Advisory Committee Andrew D Johnson Posted November 2, 2012 Technical Advisory Committee Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Man that hurts to watch, what a bummer. That is very close to how our car was wrecked in spring of 2011. All 3 Chicago teams will have new cars for 2013! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenkle34 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I saw the corner workers waiving yellow flags like crazy so I slowed down and gave the corner workers plenty of room and when I saw the car, I was just thinking "well they are done"At least I got to pass a car...not the way I wanted to though lolthe restart was CRAZY for me....Everyone stacked up behind me (go figure since it was my first road race and the car was hurt it was BOUND to happen) and then when we went green, I just gave everyone all the room in the world to get by me.

blau Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Big thumbs up to the safety crew for getting to me quickly, for sure. Thanks to our Necksgen device and safety gear I was able to walk away with not much more than soreness and a few bruises. The ChumpCar staff isn't kidding around when they say that safety is well worth the investment.We're writing off this car and salvaging whatever parts we can from it. My crappy driving ruined our shiny new radiator and transmission, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shane Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I ended up stalling right by mess when our fuel pump started failing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salna Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 So what are you guys building for next year?Another 900. Road America proved that we are finally somewhat competent mechanics and know the platform well. We're heavily invested in the platform too. We believe we can still compete with most e36s if we build the car right. Granted, we haven't had a single race yet where something didn't come up that cost us laps or laptimes.Anyone want to arrange group transportation to the Glen?

skierman64 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I'm glad you were ok, that was a solid hit. We might be interested in a group deal to the Glen, we can tow to Chicago and go from there depending on the deal. It'd have to be cheaper than towing to make it worth while.
