horror stories

[M.P.G.]

Correct me if im wrong, but I think band1t is mostly talking about the car, not the risk on his life. lol atleast thats what I got from his post.

and if thats the ? then hell yea im always worried about my car when I go to the dragstrip or opentrack. I always have limited funds for my car and I dont own a shop so it would suck if something real bad happend. so far no horror stories. (knock wood.)

After my off track incident autocrossing it doesnt bother me, just fix it and get back racing. That one was about a 4500 dollor oops, but its only money so who cares.

That's pretty much my opinion as well... build it, drive it, and if it breaks, fix/build it better. Of course, the old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" completely applies... don't get in over your head, check, double check, inspect, double inspect, torque and retorque. But still things will wear and break, and when they do, just fix 'em and get back out there.

You still have to respect an autocross as well as the road courses... If someone drives outside their abilities or wants to show off, it can have terrible consequences...



Even without light poles and such, there are things that can be hit... like course workers, spectators, and/or cars parked along the sides of the course!

BE CAREFUL!!
