What was the deal with the wreck today? Looked like a black s-10 wrecked near the traps as it was starting to rain. I saw it as I was getting in my yukon.

your cousins father told everyone his wishbone or something broke on it.

The blue s-10 appeared to have control arm come loose

It really sucks. I have seen this truck come together for the last 7-8 years. I hope it wasn't as bad as it appears. From what he told me last weekend, the truck was really riding out.

Ahh, okay!

I thought it might have been due to rain.

it was due to rain. both cars were sideways because of water. the track was hooking good before it started raining. it was too wet for them to make the trip. i understand the reason but was not worth the cost.

Yea, I just got confirmation by several witness' that the primered truck let off because the other car got sideways due to slight drizzle and he might have over corrected. Just no one got hurt so that is all that mattered.

If it started to rain, why was the race even allowed to go?

You talking about the Heartbeat truck that wrecked Friday?

Billy is my little cousins father... as far as I know he is fine. He was by the house today but I was not there to talk to him about the wreck. I would like to find out if he is able to save the truck or not.

The truck itself is totaled. He thinks he broke an axle. His brother also has a truck and I think they are just going to take turns with it till Billy can build another.

they was waiting to see what the rain was going to do with four guys left in the gamblers race, and one of the participants ranted F*** the damn rain lets get this race on, im not scared of a little drizzle... so they tryed to run it. i heard the truck knock the tires loose i guess when it shifted to high

It just drizzled BARELY. Hell, we had only 2 drops on the truck and that was it. I was actually heating the bottle up and was going to step up to some larger pills and see what it can do when the primered truck wrecked. But when he wrecked I stopped because I didn't know how bad it was and didnt want to wait. Plus it was time to grille some grub

Was it already a slight sprinkle Robert? That is just silly...

It sure stinks that the wreck happened, especially since it could have been totally prevented. No amount of money is worth that kind of property damage or risk to life.

I don't want to see anybody wreck for any reason. Sometimes things just happen that can not be prevented. I wish no harm for anybody, you can get crossed up under beautiful skies and perfect conditions.

But......for somebody to say bump the rain/drops, H2O wtf ever, is just plain...well... nevermind.

I wasn't saying the s10 was because of rain (I didn't know either way), I was just kinda using it as reference. I'm glad he is ok, cars can be fixed/replaced, drivers on the other hand...

I figured that's what you meant after I had posted.

I agree w/ you. I think it is careless to make a pass in the rain, regardless.

hope the driver of the blue S10 is ok' i was pulling into the left lane and i looked up and saw sparks and smoke at the end of the track and i thought the chevy nova had wrecked ' i didnt know it was the blue S10 till jerry told me as we waited for them to clean the track up'''
then the truck was cooled down ad spun the tries off the line and lost to the black S10 with the big block''
again i hope the driver is ok'' trucks can be rebuilt''

Billy is fine from what I hear, just a little sore. I am going to try and swing by his place Tuesday. I'm sure he will put something else together soon.

He was right behind me when that happened. I had just started the car then boom. I thought it was me .Then I noticed it was still running.

My favorite part after the fire was put out was the getto ass argument that ensued. Them yelling thats what you get for tryin to hide spray on us! Mustang owner was still stickin to his story that he had no nitrous! :hysterical:

It seems that a lot of it is cars getting crossed up and not recovering. Whether it be them trying to pedal it, or if they have no chance. Bowman just seems unforgiving to a slick car when it gets crossed up at all. I cant recall a drag radial car having an issue out there. I was just saying.

Driver error

When your done your done...if you chase it...guess what....that's right, you just chased it right into the wall

x2, i agree 100%

And that does seem to be the issue that ive seen thus far from Bowman. Maybe its just that theyre not a lot of radial cars there for it to happen. Hopefully it stops being such an occurence.

pfft.. it's all in prep, radials like a total different prep than slicks., or cliff note version. radials like prep and slicks will go down dirt roads.

maybe its narrow ? is it the same as dorchester ?

Thats what I'm thinking bubba. you know I've never been but I will bet the groove is nu-nu-narrow.

With the times DR cars are running lately why would anyone use slicks?

refer to the dirt road comment above. slicks are very very very repeatable.
Also, what fun is it to slap slicks on an run.. radials= "Ya got to work on it son" : Troy Sir : lol.
