Car hooked and went on the wheelie bars and a joint broke and sent the car up and onto the guard rail.
Was it a heim joint, a u-joint or a joint for one of the wheelie bars?
Jake, Glad to hear that you walked away and hope the doctors visit gets good results. If I remember right, when Gary Murphy and his black Challenger did a wheelstand at Bowling Green and a rear wheel came off, Charlie made a rule that all hemi cars needed 5/8's studs and wheelie bars. I hope for the racers sake, that Charlie doesn't create a new rule about no wheelstands.

What looks like what happened is the bracket on the rear end folded over and side loaded the heim and broke it in two. Whats amazing is all the sheetmetal is repairable none needs replacing. Only body parts needed is front bumper and lt headlight ring,lt drip molding, and the chrome molding at edge of quarter panel. I havent gotten it up in air yet to see what damage underneith other than some steering stuff oil pan and trans pan and header collector and new tires and rims.Jake

Normally i would point out that you were a little late of the line, but this isn't a time for jokes  Seriously, im glad your ok, and i really hope you guys get the car fixed up and get it back out on the track (with ladder bars).
In God we trust, all others pay cash.

First I want thank all the well wishers and e mails and phone calls that i got. It realy made me feel much better. Also it was great that my son was able to come to the track and help load things up and drive us home cause i could not drive. We put the car on the houst yesturday and things are beat up a liitle put repairable. So the engine and trans is out already and the car is going to my friends frame shop to make sure everything is straight. After that it will go to my house and we will start on the body work. We will take our time on it so we are not pushing to get it done for next season but we will see.When i went to hospital they found a potential problem with my heart so i go to another doctor on thursday. So we will see what that is about. Agian thankyou everyone. Jake
