Other way around, it changes from concrete to asphalt at the finish line.

Good point, my mistake, I typed that in backwards.

Never mind he hasn't been down the track since 2003. Good lord John, get another hobby besides keyboard racing. If you hit the backspace key hard enough before you post, you might not end up looking like the moron you do today. If your just slightly out of the groove in dallas and tap the brake, it can get ugly real quick.

Re: RJ's car crashed

Not much to say. I screwed up, got a little out of the groove and tried to tighten it up and hit the brakes. I just got on them a little too much. RJs brakes are the best money can buy and I didn't adjust my driving to that. I'm just glad the car isn't hurt too bad, I didn't get into Hutto's car and RJ has been nothing but positive about the situation and I thank him for that. On another note If anyone knows of a 66/67 fairlane or parts for a 66/67 fairlane I would appreciate the help. 832-472-9826 is my cell. I feel terrible about what happened and feel I learned a valuable lesson today and am ready to get this all behind me.

Nolan, don't beat your self up over it. JR is a big boy and he can handle it. That red ford will be back in action beating up stock emiminator cars in the future.

Re: RJ's car crashed

Nolan glad you weren't hurt, that track is known for that problem.
I have already begun to look for some Fairlane parts, hopefully we can find something nice to help out.

Re: RJ's car crashed

Glad Nolan is OK.
Yes, that track is very bad at the finish line. I lost a good buddy there. One of the problems is it is very flat concrete that turns to asphalt & it has wear ruts (grooved like trucks do highways) with a crown. They are slight and the crown is very slight, but there and can cause problems if you aren't lined up. I just consider it a track with a small groove.

Re: RJ's car crashed

Glad to hear you are ok Nolan. The car can be repaired.

I sent Kirk a link to a fairlane wagon for sale when I was down there in TX. The car is in northern California though...

Re: RJ's car crashed

Nolan, glad you're okay. What parts do you all need to fix it?
