Perhaps Bill is referring to Ken Etter's Fontana wreck...based on how badly he got banged up I'd say yours could have been far worse. Nevertheless I hated to see your car get so damaged, first saw it at one of Valdosta's National Opens and I was very impressed, in some ways more so than the Barton/Wescott battles waged there.
