The car when it cam off the rail slid down the track on the lt side then came back on all fours and shot across the track to the lt lane and back to the rt lane. Both sides are damaged and undercarge trans pan and oil pan crushed from the rail, blew out both front tires. They found my glasses and phone on the track. Going back to the doctor today for another check up, my ribs are realy sore and i can hardly move. Jake

Sorry to see/hear this happening to such a beautiful car. Thank goodness the safety equipment did it's job and there were no fires.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

The medical people did a great job of attending me. The clean up crew was able to get the track working really good for everyone. Sorry it was down for 2 hours. Jake

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).

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

Jebus! That hurt just looking at it. Glad you weren't seriously hurt and I hope everything works out for you for the best. Damn, just damn that could have been so much worse.
Wishing you the best, what a beautiful car BTW.
