Ralph Porpora bumper scraping wheelstand
If you haven't already seen this footage here you go. I think I am the only one that caught this on tape. This is from Lebanon Valley at the LODRS on July 3, 2010.

Re: Ralph Porpora bumper scraping wheelstand
It appears that he forgot to put on his giant braced lightened wheelie bars. Nice air shot though to go along with his attitude.
Ron Ortiz U/SA waaaay up there

Re: Ralph Porpora bumper scraping wheelstand
What was the part that seemed to come off of the car?
It was on the right side. That had to be a hairy ride! Ouch!!! |

Re: Ralph Porpora bumper scraping wheelstand
I believe Ralph mentioned in another thread that it was the head lights. It looks like the left one stayed on the car, but fell out also.

Re: Ralph Porpora bumper scraping wheelstand
Ken said in his race report in the other thread that Ralph told him the damage was limited to the headlights. That looked like a headlight ring that came off of the passenger side.

Re: Ralph Porpora bumper scraping wheelstand
Wow, what a ride.. right slick off the ground, too
You can really see it in the slow mo... Glad to see The headlight didn't shatter when it hit the track. That is why I put the plastic headlights in my car.... as well as a few pounds off the front.
