Very very sad to inform all that my prized '57 met a lamp post last night. After a couple hours of testing and jet changes yesterday, got it just right, pulling crisp through all RPM's it was ready for the races today at western speedway. My father-in-law and I were just driving it from his place back to mine to pick up my jeep and drive the family home.
Without going into too much detail (as mentined before in other posts about the possibility of big brother reading
) my elephant sized 14 feet played a roll wedging between the brake and gas pedal and things very quickly got out of control.
Luckily no-one was too seriously hurt, poor Ross took the brunt of it, popped the windshield out with his mellon and somehow dislocated his shoulder. I'm just super thankful that we met the post and and not 5 feet to either side to hop the curb cause there were some pedestrians in the area and things could of been a whole hell of a lot worse.
I don't know the faith of my poor 50 year old rocket ship ICBC will probably want to write it off i'm assuming but we'll see.
I'm sure I don't need to say it, but I will anyway......To all that run these monsters on the street, be careful out there, it happened a hell of a lot faster than imaginable.
