Wow, that sucks. Pretty unique in that it had the inner headlights deleted from the grille. I have pics of it but no idea who it belongs to.

Now I seem to remember that it may be a car out of the Chicago area and if I'm not mistaken it's running a Hemi??? I also think he is a board member but does not post much. I could be wrong

This whole situation is hard to take. He did a really weak assed burnout for that much hp which almost guarantees the car will launch badly with wheel spin? Next it's time to lift when You cross the centerline? Waste of a great car. This looks like that Bucky Hess "I ain't lifting" video? Macho is macho but this doesn't need to continue as examples of how to wreck a good Mopar.

And this is supposed to mean what? Crashing due to not lifting is not the answer to anything except more money to repair or replace. This situation can be avoided with common sense. They don't give bonus points for crashing at Sac Raceway and I doubt anywhere else as well??

There tells the whole tail. Mike knows what happened. Not like this was his first time down the track. How many here have a 3300lb car that goes teen 60 fts? I'm sure it moves around quite often. Maybe something broke, fluid who knows. I hope it didn't hurt it to bad. I know I'm plenty lucky I haven't done the same thing , Stuff happens quick.

It is a blessing that you Mike, are here commenting about the ordeal. I don't know you, but glad that you're not now a sadistic. A guy I knew just killed himself last month at MIR and no one really knows what happened. Stranger things other than Murphy's Law have taken rides with us in these kind of cars.
Like said, sh#t happens faster than you can say fast. A car could be quick on the ET, but it is the launch that is all the burden on stuff and the nerves.

Mike, hope you get it fixed soon.
First off, I wasn't in the drivers seat, so I won't comment on the driving. Second, a lot of fresh slicks don't require much if any smoke, which was there on the burnout. So the burnout IMHO was more than enough.

Are you serious????

Mike,
It sounds like you have a parts car but I have a few nice pieces of 63 Dodge sheetmetal as does a buddy if you need it. I'd donate it to the cause if you just pay the shipping.
PM me here on the board.

Ok, I'll bite:
My opinion as someone who has raced for 30 years, and watched drag racing for 40, I have aborted plenty of runs, and never crashed. I've seen this same accident a thousand times, from 12 second bracket cars to 4 second top fuel funny cars. We all have it beat into our heads from the first time we visit the track, that crossing the center line is BAD. Because of this everyone acts as though it's an unbreakable barrier, and limit themselves to half the track to try and save the car from destruction, that darn yellow paint stripe has sent so many cars back into their own lane's wall it's not even funny!
That is a quick, hard leaving car on a sketchy track. I'd guess the driver has had to drive it through the first 100 feet on many occasions, if he had driven it a car width into the other lane, he may have saved it, or he may be paying to fix a chevelle right now, hard to tell from the angle of the video.
Good luck with the repairs, Mike.

exactly Billy, I have seen it over and over. just watched the same scenario last week here with a twin turbo car. if you played the video's side by side they would be identical. Mike had 2 chances to save the car. when it moved right he could have lifted and when he over corrected to the left it could have been saved even though he crossed the line. it's a drivers choice and hopefully it will never happen again. good thing is he is ok and the car can be fixed. the twin turbo car is a total it flipped over the barrier and almost into the fans. Mike don't take offense to this just learn from it.

I sure don't see where his wheels are cranked excessively, or cranked at all......this is why these are called accidents.....where many small things just happen to line up perfectly to cause an Accident....
A "perfect" combination of......maybe not lined up just right, track issues that caused the car to move around, maybe car/tire issues.....and I am sure he has driven through this stuff many times.....just this time things didn't work out well.......at the 2 Second point it was out of his hands....

I usually agree with you Quicktree......but on this subject, you are WAY out of line. You are trying to watch some sketchy video and differentiate the sounds of two cars on the video and likely cars in the water box as well and make a determination on what a driver may have done wrong. Sorry dude, again you are way out of bounds trying to tell this guy he did something wrong by what you have seen. You were NOT in the car, so in reality you have NO CLUE what happened or what he did to try and save it.

I've seen vids like this one and comments are made about when the driver is on or off the throttle and most often they are wrong.
The thing they fail to remember is when the car is down track, the audio you hear isn't in sync with the video.

And for all you arm chair driving experts, once the car is in the marbles, for all intents and purposes it doesn't matter what the driver does. The car is going where it is going to go. From watching the video he was NOT sawing on the wheel, the car appears to launch a little right and then washed to the left, got in the marbles and he was just hanging on at that point...............but what do I know. My Vespa ain't very fast...........LOL!!!

I usually agree with you Quicktree......but on this subject, you are WAY out of line.

Sorry dude, again you are way out of bounds trying to tell this guy he did something wrong by what you have seen. You were NOT in the car, so in reality you have NO CLUE what happened or what he did to try and save it.

HOW DARE YOU??? He's obviously the sharpest marble on this site and knows EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING!!! Actually I think this was the first of his posts that I've read that actually contains any analysis and has any relevance! But yes, he has absolutely no idea what happened inside that car. It's so easy for the "PRO" drivers to tell others what they should have done after the fact.

Thanks Monte
The whole thing came down to NOT HITTING THE OTHER CAR that was the main thing.

Someday should be this Wednesday then...I feel I could reach your pinnacle by then. As far as learning, does taking the words of others for gospel and repeating them count? As much as i see it Im guessing it does?

Since everyone is feeling compelled to give the owner of this car what he "should have done" advice I thought I would throw in my When the car started to run out of the groove the driver had a split second decision to make. At that exact moment he should have closed his eyes, and silently pondered about what the keyboard jockeys on moparts (many of whom have never even sat in a fast car) would do it in this situation. The guidance on the website would have surely steered him to safety.
The owner of the car didn't come on here asking for a driving lesson. I don't know what would be worse for me, wrecking my hot rod, or listening to the know it all's educate me on how to drive a race car with a keyboard.

and your keyboard opinion means what?

Re: OUCH! 63 Dodge hard hit - 07/26/14 05:24 PM
what the keyboard no it all's fail to realize is all they are doing is keeping the smart people from posting/ helping. this in turn will make them never get the knowledge that they could have had.

Can the driver of the car maybe chime in and state what actually happened?
At this point it is pure speculation.

Car got loose and it got wrecked, he feels terrible it's hurt and his wallet is taking a pounding. That's all we need to know. Sorry to see a good, fast Mopar get hurt.

How ya doin big D? Too hot here to even go in the garage, much lass the track. Your winter is our summer. Still waiting for my new project to show up. Doing well John. Back to work after 3 weeks off for cellulitis. Just got done putting a 4.11 8-1/4 in my buddy Bill's Dart. My Duster is next, and then the Daytona may finally get the motor/trans stuck in it.
Looks like a really neat project you got coming there.

Ya, probably end up doing most of my posting for it in the "street rodders" section. 33 Plymouth, 360/727/Ford 9" /3.55's. 4 link rear should be stout enough to handle easy mid 12's with mild motor and trans.
