my season ends with a bang. - 10/09/09 07:25 AM

....into Milans retaining wall. the way the car was set up and the rpm i left at would normally go 1.27-1.28 60 ft with about 10" to 12" wheelie, i also tightened the front shock rebound all the way and the car shot straight up, got out of shape in the air and came down hard on the passenger front side, then into the wall. the scrap pile will consist of front bumper,left fender, left door, headers,oil pan, and what ever else i find when i take it apart. the quater panel needs a little body work and the left front subframe is tweeked up a bit.
why did'nt i just stay home?

Very sorry to hear that. About the only thing that would have been worse is if it was the first pass of the season not the end of the season.

Sorry to hear about the wreck. I also tightened the front shock rebound on my car in anticipation of lower temperatures to hopefully avoid excessive wheel stand. I also restrict front end travel in these conditions to reduce weight transfer. My wheelie bars are my safety device, so I hope it doesn't bite me.
