| Shnikeys, that airbag looked like a bag of overcooked microwave popcorn! Glad to hear that you're okay, though. Can't really tell what sent you off there, did you hook a tire on the inside curb or something? If you put it back together, will it be faster, stronger, better? Will it be... Bionic Brown MINI? -Ricardo |

| Wow, dude. Your narrative(s) did *nothing* to prepare me for the video! "****" just about sums it up. That impact looked really hard, too. I'm sorry the Brown MINI is bruised, but I have a feeling it'll be back better than before. I do kind of wonder about that broken pulley, however; if that's the crank pulley, is there a chance it could have damaged the crank itself? I'm glad you are ok! |

| Stupidity did it. I went too fast for cold tires. Bouncing off of curbs didn't help, but with more heat in the tires it would have worked. I didn't post this thread looking for sympathy, or because I'm proud of what I did. I'm horrible at asking for help. I cannot stand feeling like I am imposing upon other people. I like to take care of things myself as much as possible. But, in this case, I think I may wind up needing help. I'm not entirely sure what that will entail right now. But, if anyone has spare parts laying around I can have / get cheap... I'll probably be looking. The first step is going to be making it drivable again. Not at speed, just under its own power. Then, I need to find out if anything frame-like is bent. At some point, a new bumper will be needed, possibly some other body parts for the car. And I still haven't found an enclosed location to store the car at in the meantime. |

| A number of things come to mind: -But for the grace of of a wet track while doing a 360 at Lime Rock there go I. -But for dumb luck at ending up facing pit out in the grass affter going into turn 1 way too hot at NHIS there go I. -If we want to play we sometimes have to pay and that's just the way it is. Sure we feel dumb, but there's no shame in learning a lesson.Glad you are OK. (Get an S. ) Missing my buddies Dan, Ed, and Diane but glad I have three angel buddies , And on a quest to Right Secco's Wrongs |
