| Competition Licensing School - Tontobird gets hit!
O.K., so I passed the competition licensing school on Friday. However, during the last session, which was our "graduation race", I got hit, not once, but twice, by 2 different cars!
The first one who hit me was totally at fault. I was coming out of the oak tree turn (turn 12) when I got hit in front of my right rear wheel, by a guy that was too hot in the turn. Damage on a beat up race car was barely noticeable. It was the second hit that will cost me btw. $250-$500. The nose of my car swung to the right, then back over to the left as I was trying to regain control. A friend of mine, was trying to get around me and as my nose swung left, hit his rear wheel. Unfortunately, he was driving a delicate little spec racer called a "Store" and it tore up his fiberglass (carbon fiber?) fender and bent an "A" arm.
I was immediately operable, just cosmetic damage, and he was ready to roll the next day. I have it on video, otherwise it's so difficult to recall what happened, it happens so fast.
You'll be happy to know that the guy who originally hit me did not pass the comp school.
More on the racing later.......  |
