Neck is significantly less sore now. I attribute this to the failed "chromie" wheel, and possibly Hydrogen embrittlement. |

More pics... Bent the steering wheel a couple inches forward, buckeled the unibody frame all the way back in the shifter area. The right shock tower is 5" back of normal.

I race an ~85 mustang 4 cyl. at the www.magicvalleyspeedway.com and I had a Right front wheel break at the stamping edge just outside the lug nuts. Corner speed was about 50 MPH+. The 2 rows of tires in front of the concrete wall helped a little. So much for this car. Fortunately I am ok, minor hickeys on my shoulders from the belts and a sore neck, but I still have full range of motion. |
