Sliding through the lights trying to stage

Jim Wahl · 11-20-2013, 10:51 PM

OK, I've stayed out of this until now. I have to say I know both of the racers involved in this. I see the points given by both sides, however, I think the situation would be best served for the two of them to hammer this out between each other. This might be great entertainment to a lot of people but this is a serious situation and there is nothing funny about it! I would advise both of them to stop the back and forth on this forum. Nothing good will come of it. It hasn't gotten out of control but it is going down hill fast. I don't want to see either of you say something you both will regret later. Jim

Considering that nobody should ever leave their race car half out on the return road, assume half the responsibility and be glad that the racer wants to help you Mr Higgins. Please also lighten up on the pen when considering damages. I'm always amazed when people want to blame others for not being responsible for their actions, leave your race car in the way of 800 plus car driving by, there is a good chance that percentage will catch up with you. Mr Downing and his family are a class act, try to learn from this event. Claude Ruel

I agree with Jim Wahl, don't know either Charlie or Don,but I'd say that you both will be better off if could come to agreement without going to court,I know sometimes this is'nt possible,but both parties are going to better off if can be done without going to court.

If you guys could work this out between the two of you it would be over,done you both could move on,go to court decision is going to be made, one could be really happy and one not very happy or with both unhappy.

I don't know if you guys can,but would like for this get worked out and end on good terms
I wish you guys the best of luck at resolving this,I really mean it not being sarcastic.

I wonder if anyone has checked about the NHRA insurance covering some of this. I have a friend that was involved in a similar deal and as I recall, some insurance policy paid for the damage, but I'm not sure what insurance it was. May be worth a phone call.

I thought once you signed your tech card that you were on your own when having an accident at a race track..Unless the car is registered and had insurance..?

The insurance that is part of the nhra membership begins its coverage at the starting line and ends at the finish line and it is only secondary to your medical. There is no coverage for your property.
