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.

yep thanks

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.

I ment to say the primerd black one had a control arm failure

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.

rain

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

ouch... thats sucks...the heartbeat was a very nice truck.....

the black primer s10 wrecked right where i was standing 20mins before.glad i moved.... lucky it didnt come over the wall............

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

damn, i have a big shadow

That what I figured.

So does Sasquatch.

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

HAAWHUUUTTTTT??????? Rain+slicks= the pic above.......rain+anything racing=no way josey.

you can have that poop.

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

The picture I posted was not due to rain, just to clear that up...

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 mean it was just a few drops here and there

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.

I was in line getting food and it was drizzling pretty good when they were staging

Yeah I got hungry after we all almost got blown up too!

You were hiding out there too?

on friday we took luckies car out for testing. Somebody had a leaky and blew his 4.6 intake apart right next to us.

That shit was loud in the lanes

x2, little thump to the chest.

Mmmm fried bologna sammiches........

Dam Shawn, That's what you remember about the event?

Mmmmmm loaded chili sausage dog. lol

World famous sammiches :):):)

hey the fish was pretty good yesterday and the track was spot on before the rain. much better than my first trip there.

its those damn skinny tires up front. ive gone sideways bunch of times, let out and she comes right back.. maybe its the combo of the loose front suspension too... watch, i just jinx'd myself..

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''
