At the last Velo race I had my Indy screaming. While flying down the backstretch another car spun in 3 and was at the bottom of the racing line. The announcer had said I was on a record pace, so I was hugging the bottom trying to be real greedy with the lap times. I sailed into 3 and T-boned the stopped car full on. It only broke the lower left A arm on my car. His was done for the day.
At a practice day there also, I was trying the Indy as 4-cell mod with a 9 quad. After 2 laps of slowly getting her up to speed, down the front stretch I decided to open her up. A "friend" in the pits not knowing we were on the same frequency turned his radio on. I sailed into 1 at full song with no steering and the throttle wide open, climbed up the turn 1 wall, rear tires flying off the car, went out of the track, landed 50' outside the track with the throttle still wide open. Rear pod assembly, tires, axle all destroyed. But I have to say after these 2 very bad accidents, the chassis has held up 100%.
