What Corvette Crash At Pomona?
 

Someone posted a crash of the Eddie Smith Vette at Pomona with drastic description of guard rail and roof action. Any truth to this story? Discussion of outcome? I had wondered who bought the car and its outcome/

Dick, I'm pretty sure it was Steve Kent driving the E/A Comp Car that Eddie Smith used to drive as a C/EA. I think it was/is a HAAS tube car, It was not a Super Stocker.

PS The Camaro is getting close, should be out next year.

The super stock EX-Smith vette is alive and well....running in div-7.

Gary, GOOD NEWS. I want to see the car inperson. Good luck. Now if we could just keep enough cars for TOP/SS going again. It was Fun, It worked and finally enough cars are becoming available to make a field....

Dick,

I have the Smiths old Super Stock Corvette. If you look at Toby Lang's post from Pomona there is a current picture with my partially obscured mug in the photo. I missed eliminations after I overreved the engine in the last qualifier and was trying to play it safe and not kick the rods out of it. So just to make sure the weekend was a total bust my brother was driving my Monte Carlo and it decided to ventilate the oil pan with a connecting rod and oil the track in the first round. Sorry to all who had to wait while the carnage was removed. Just not a good weekend for the Broaddus Brothers!!

I felt so bad for you guys! But, at least, you have all winter to repair things!! ;-)

Re: What Corvette Crash At Pomona?
 

Thanks Julie!
We look forward to your return next year too!

Bryan, Glad you guys have the car> It ran in our TOP/SS meet at Indy Open. We had a ball. Ray Paquet, Eddie, Tony Depillo, Both vettes of Wilkerson and Kenny Schindler, then Brian Oakes came and WON both TOP/SS and TOP/Stk. Now there are two other T-BOlts in the area to add with the NASH of A. H Adkins. Ollie Stephan even drove down for a meet.Paul Adams T BOlt is strong already and its getting time to consider it again on a local race basis if enough of the guys want it.
Wish a sponsor would POP up for this race with enough money to DRAW all the good cars at one time. THen this would be a pattern for the future.
Good Luck with the vette. I always wished I had been more active in trying to buy it....

If anyone does not want to go for a ride like this I will build you a diaper that way if rods come out you will only loose a motor not a car call with any questions

Re: What Corvette Crash At Pomona?
 

Where in the artical did it say any thing about getting oil under and causing the wreck? Arent comp cars already required to have diapers? If so it did not seem to save this car.

Steve told us he did not know he red lighted and was told over the radio . At that point he pushed in the clutch and it upset the car and got away from him. Car is at Haas's shop, engine is ok and driver has a broken toe nail. Now NHRA will enforce steel toe shoes.

That could have been real nasty if he took out the other car too.

No they can run a belly pan instead of a diaper.I posted because I have had a lot of customers this year that saw some bad wrecks and they ordered diapers.

Re: What Corvette Crash At Pomona?
 

A friend's post was deleted for an obscure reference to selling something, yet the diaper guy is lurking around any post concerning a crash promoting his products. I sell lasers, wanna buy one so your diaper is aligned?

Re: What Corvette Crash At Pomona?
 

He gets to post because he paid the fee and has an ad on the home page.

Re: What Corvette Crash At Pomona?
 

No, Thats Business $$$

Re: What Corvette Crash At Pomona?
 

Without advertisement, we have no site.

Re: What Corvette Crash At Pomona?
 

Well it figures, the belly aching about the CJs and the DPs has gotten old so now let's fire up about someone who paid for the right to advertise here and does so. Her we go.

Re: What Corvette Crash At Pomona?
 

Leave the guy alone! He supports this site we all enjoy.

Almost sounds like someone needs to change their diaper!
