Keith r u drunk again? Michael broke driver side strut rod. He had a new one in the trailer so we were able to make the next round. Also had to replace front and rear tires/rims from making contact with the wall. Minor body damage.

Wow, I broke one at 65 on the interstate and thought I had a wild ride. I can't even imagine that at full throttle. My hat's off to Michael.

Iacono's car was moving around a lot on the pass. after the finish, there was so much smoke it was easy to assume the worst. We could not see the car. Most assumed he had even gone over the wall, which is scary at Lebanon Valley because that's the return road. Rumors were rampant. As mentioned, he broke a strut rod and tagged the wall.

It all became clear when Iacono showed up in the lanes for the next round. He had a conversation with his opponent, Ed Alessi, in which he described the damage and repair. They had replaced the rod and eyeballed the alignment. Alessi seemed assured that the car was safe and agreed to race him.

Bob Lang crawled under the front of the car to inspect and gave the go-ahead. It appeared to me that Iacono was serious about the race, not just staging the car...he was only red by .009.

I have photos but can't seem to get them up.

Hope that clears up the question.

Now there's a Haymaker!!!!! Glad it wasn't serious! Now Mike can't get on my case anymore for tagging the wall!!

I'm sure Timmy will have that car looking like new again before the next race!!

Now he can get rid of the pink that is on the car, i HOPE, no pun intended.

Mickey can you tell the difference between a pink Chevy and a black Ford?
