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 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. |

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.

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...
