bad day of racing at out local 1/8th mile track, pics and videos
this is a cut and paste quote from another forum i'm on.
the camaro belongs to my buddies family. it's a pretty impressive car, the crx in the pics was running mid 6's in the 1/8th mile.
the owner of the crx had $12k into the engine, a 6sec 1/8 mile run in an all motor honda is pretty impressive to me, but for $12k. ---- that ----
this was a toys for tots charity event. it was free to get in and free to race. just had to bring in a $10 unwrapped toy. they were taking donations to cover the track workers and stuff like that.
i guess the track prep was not done properly. i'm not sure why cause i wasn't there, but the guy i'm quoting said the announcer got on the speakers and apologized to everyone. he said they couldn't prep the track correct. they shut down the track after the camaro and crx crashed.
i'm pretty sure no one was hurt
the videos kinda suck...

Pinks All Out @ Rockingham killed two cars due to poor track prep, too. What's so stupid about it is you can usually see a couple cars get squirrelly before one loses control... but no one ever does anything until the worst happens. It's only ------- obvious. :1 :1 :1 :1 :1 :1 :1
