congrads as always, nice hole.
LOL Karter!
definitely, a decent ones are just few and far between. i wanted a Koni ACR for a while.
The rule is if you go to your pit before the tech barn you should be bounced. Mae drove her car that had two tires left on it that, just slammed into the wall and was crushed/overheating/leaking everything to tech. I have seem my brothers car being towed to tech. Thats just how it works. Plenty of cars have been distroyed in races going over the finish line and just tell the tow truck drivers to push them to tech… thats what they are there for. I have even seen them try to pull crushed cars that dont run or even have 4 tired left on them over the scales. Ask southtowns27… whoever that is? But i remember he said he worked on Fetzers car. He got bounced one year for not going directly to tech. And ya actually I get along with the tech guys very well and they came to my pit right afterwards to talk to me. Before we even walked into the barn they asked me where the 74 car was and I said she blew up then just drove to her pit. They just shook thier head in disbelief. They were like what the hell is she doing there?? I cant believe this. I just wish she would have driven/pushed/rolled that car to tech so i could be happy finishing 2nd, lol. What if i, the winner of that race, never came to tech?? You know damn well Mae and your GF (i she was in the tech barn) would have wondered where the hell i was and would have wanted me bounced. But honestly… congrats on the good season!! You all did well. Did you finish second in points behind brown?
My car is actually 100% stock. All i did was put a seat and cage in it and pulled out alot of weight that i didnt need. I won a few races.
show a side pic of it for proof, looks like it has holes in it (aka aftermarket lw pulley)
If you seriously still have a problem with it, call tech and talk to them.
Once again, AFTER THE QUEEN BEE RACE, YOU didn’t run the Hornet race, she did, you were the only car sitting in tech until after the Hornet race correct? They didn’t check your car until after the Hornet race, correct?
The car was not running, she coasted it to our pits, thats it, thats that, tech said the car was fine, there was no problem
Yes I got 2nd in points behind Brown, he did a good job of winning 8 races this season, he deserved it, I was just in points based on consistency.
Congrats non the less to you, rookie season, 2 wins, 2nd in points, not bad, just be ready for next year!
Oh, and you really have to watch Mae, because she pulls that kinda shit all the time, going to her pit stall after the race, shes got good excuesses when she does though.
MAE is the one that primarily bitches about the not going to tech issue, Samantha doesn’t, because she knows shit happens, just as it did to us this weekend, and we couldn’t PHYSICALLY drive the car to tech.
But please rest assured the car was TECHED and passed, end of story.
Just as we had a good reason not to drag the car to tech with a blown motor pouring oil all over the place, you know?
Wouldn’t no power steering only require a shorter belt? I thought you can’t use parts from a different car.
The car came without the options of P/S and A/C, it only needs one drive belt for the alternator.
I believe you that the car passed. It just gave a ton of people a chance to come to me and be like… " You should have won! she didnt even roll her car threw tech, thats BS. anyone else would have got bounced." Like I said, honestly good job to you guys! It was my first year and I think I did just fine. It would have made next year boring if I would have won the championship this year. lol. Mae does freak out about Tech issues… but thats my point exactly. Anyone would have been like WTF? If you finishing second in points in the hornets didnt see Brown come threw the barn this weekend you would have been like “Where the hell is he?” and any normal person racing for points would. Good job to Sam this year… her car was fast. What made her blow up?
cheater!! lol. J/K. U guys just going to throw another motor at that car?
I have a whole other civic for parts ATM. I’ve got another motor too, but were thinking of swapping out the Automatic for a 5spd for next year!
Just glad we got that cleared up, I understand complete, believe me, after 4 years of being there, I’ve seen it happen too many times before… lol.
ooo shit.
I thought her car was already 5sp.
she drives pretty beastly o.O
kinda like the way my gf drives on a normal road :
Ugh.
So, stupid question time.
I always was wondering this, and I even asked people at holland when I was there last time, and they were like uhh I dunno.
Only reason I thought of it, because in the uhm… 4th or 5th race, the one guy got fucked up and had to ride an ambulance out.
Who picks up the tab for hospital bills?
Is it on the drivers insurance? Or the track?
im pretty sure its all on the driver
The track actually covers that, up to a certain amount, I think about $200,000.
its all on the driver, if you dont have insurance, you dont need to be racing. By signing into the track you are agreeing they arent legally liable, thats with all tracks.
Also as a spectator, they arent liable for you either, food for thought I guess.
I raced many seasons without insurance, it wasnt smart, but hey not everyone can afford to race and have health coverage. and ofcourse, nobody pays medical bills anyways.
(seriously, have insurance, a few weeks in the hospitol and you’ll be screwed financially.)
I just typed up something long then seen what jeff said.
Most tracks dont cover you at all, Id honestly be shocked if they picked up the bill, the only free thing you’ll get is the ambulance ride, and 99% of the time thats not free either.
I got to sit in the ambulance and get checked out after I got taken out the one race and smashed the back stretch wall backwards at 65mph. I didn’t get charged a dime… yet… lol
I think that if its at the track and you get checked out then it doesnt cost you anything but when you take a ride out of the track in the ambulance and race in the hornet class i dont think you are covered because you sign a waiver. When it comes to Figure 8, Pro 4, Chargers, Late Models, and Pro Mods you are covered by Nascar because you have a Nascar license.
Hass- i think you are refering to a few weeks ago in the charger race when someone got into the ambulance… he does that everytime. I think its so he doesnt get his ass kicked by all the people he takes out. lol.
