Bucky found the wall

Damn. Could have been worse for the car and driver, but the motor is ****ed...look at that oil trail.

Diaper didn't work very well did it? Must not have been a ballistic one.

I think most of the oil came out from the header or on the header.

That sucks.
Did anyone else notice the amount of left front wheel wobble when the car put the front end back down? I'm sure that has to stress the front end, too.

Bucky is determined and resilient. He'll be back.

Yes he will. I saw the video on Facebook yesterday and it shows him on the top end getting out of the car He was one pissed off dude as I would be too.

I was told it was a rod that let go.
Ran into Herb McCandless at the Auburn Auction yesterday.

Heartbreaker!

That car looked amazing!

one of the reasons they've wanted to go rack steering and aftermarket steering components.... but that "stock" thing keeps getting in the way

Bucky was running some pretty good numbers.... still a Line Hemi between the fender wells?

Yep. A real bummer. Some times it's best to step away from it for a short before you start to asses the hole thing. Usually not as bad as first thought.

Bodywork will be cheaper than replacing that Elephant. It looked like it done blowed up real good.

First time in years I wasn't there. That does suck, but Bucky will be back for sure!

He's not one to step away from something and spend any time thinking about it. He's probably taking it apart today and will be on the phone tomorrow morning ordering parts.

While not a "soft" hit by any means........damage looked minimal. Car should be easily fixable

That suuuuucks.....

That is what they said over the loud speaker at the track.

That really sucks bad, I believe he had the lowest ET of the event also for that class.

The paint to duplicate might be a little tough on that extremely detailed car. It's a 1 of 1.

It's the second time the car has tagged the wall. Bucky and Travis will have it looking even better the next time around. They are the BEST at paint jobs like this.

Another view at the 16 minute mark.

I would guess it's absolutely repairable but they may just want to get a new car.

I agree he might want a new car. He has crashed this one twice, but the reason would probably be because he WANTS one, not that he NEEDS one because of this accident.
