Ron's Crash

Image

Ron was caught in a group of dogfighting Miatas at the very crest of a hill, and trying to race and avoid the little rice-grinders, went off the road and end over end.

we are going to replace the top as a whole. that should be pretty simple. the rear clip is going to be a different story. but we got all off season. it s gonna be very nice when we get it done.

Oh sure holding back on a video, come on and cough it up unless its too painful. I would do alot of thinking and a little cutting to splice that rear clip, maybe cut it low on the package tray to make it simple and yet strong. Mike McCarthy

yes i was a wee bit fast in that corner for the way i entered. what you cant see is that I took my eye off the corners to see where that fricking little miata was at. I had been doing good in thatcorner all day but if you dont watch were you are going you run out of track and experience at the same time.

Well as of last weekend our racing season is over. we finished 2 in points this year. we ran faster than last year and we tore (?) up more than last year. we are rebuilding the car and will be ready for the season opener which is a hill climb in March. that should be nice and chilly. thanks to all the comments and fellowship. thanks to frank for coming out and helping with the car. hope to see more of yall next season in the SCCA TT.

so long til the green flag drops again
