Video is from in my car... Note there's a skip in the DV tape due to the impact. http://www.vimeo.com/10025109 -------------------- Geoff SM 80 Brian Benthin Professional ballast Region: Northwest Car #: ICSCC #322 Year : 1990 Posts: 283 Status: Offline posted         Did the 13 just get loose and come across your bumper? -------------------- Brian Team Cochran Member For Rent Region: Oregon Car #: 80 Year : 93 Posts: 602 Status: Offline posted         We watched the video in impound together and he said something to the effect of "yeah I turned in on you". I assume he just didn't realize i was there, couldn't get any farther to the right. It suprised me, I assumed he'd give me room... Sh!t happens in racing. Its a bit discouraging but you move on and hope to avoid this in the future. -------------------- Geoff SM 80 Greg Bush Thread Killer Region: NW/OR Car #: 04 Year : 90 Posts: 1765 Status: Offline posted         To get that loose there, I'd expect some compliance issues.... Please tell me he's a new guy and needs to buy more mirrors, then practice looking in them.

How much damage to your car? And +1 to what Greg said. Kyle Freiheit Member Region: NWR Car #: #78 sorry Terrell Year : 1992 Posts: 270 Status: Offline posted         Yeah, it is exactly what he said it was. "I turned in on you". Big oops. Kyle Team Cochran Member For Rent Region: Oregon Car #: 80 Year : 93 Posts: 602 Status: Offline posted         Damage wise I was actually very surprised how little there was. The LF wheel got chewed up but hopefully its still straight and just cosmetic. Flat spotted the tires coming to a sliding stop. The LF fender got bent more but was already not pretty. the bumper got more trashed but can probably be sanded and repainted. So all things considers not too bad. I just need to pull it all apart and hope the nose supports aren't bent. Oh yes, and it was pushing badly after that so hopefully that is just the alignment being off and not a bent suspension piece. -------------------- Geoff SM 80 Greg Bush Thread Killer Region: NW/OR Car #: 04 Year : 90 Posts: 1765 Status: Offline posted         You got on the brakes?
