Yes Lapeer runs 1/4 most of the time. Ever been up north to Kaleva? Its like Lapeer only 1/8 mile. I was up there a month ago. Made 28 passes in my buddys 09 Challenger. Doug

Ya know over the years I have found the no matter the size the tree always wins....Hope the driver is ok.
What is the difference between letting a tree grow or planting steel posts. Can you imagine what would have happened, to this Mustang a couple of weeks ago, if it had floated over the wall a few feet earlier.
Maybe it might have some type of shear plates in the design but that base looks solid if you look at the one on the right side. How many more racers have to be killed before this is changed.

Lenny, have you ever been to the Dunn Benson Dragstrip? I was there about 10 years ago. I couldn't stop laughing when they said it only cost $5 for the test and tune night. Place was packed. I sat on the gaurd rail next to the water box, and watched the racing. One of the best times Ive had watching time trials. Might have seen a few Franklins exchange hands after a race or two...

Carolina, home of the supertracks.
I loved this shutdown and return road
Looking back the otherway. Just after the finishline, this is reproduced on the track. They have to have a guy on a 4-wheeler parked at the end of the track in case of a crash to notify the tower. The tower personel can not see in that area. Lots of fun at night.

Good welding on the cage, anyone catch the name of the fabricator? I have seen them fall apart with a lot less.
