Seriously though. You alright Red?

Ribs are sore as hell but it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

Well, at least you came out in relatively one piece! Cant say that about the Z, but glad youre not in pieces strewn along the street!

You're going to be hurting in the morning.

Take your time trying to figure out on what you're going to do with the Z. I know you have a lot in it.

Yep, I agree, if it would have hit at a different angle the outcome wouldn't have been good. Not that this outcome is good but it's only a car. And I always knew in the back of my mind that it could happen. No matter how careful you try to be.

It happened yesterday afternoon, I actully have less pain than I did when they were shooting me full of morphine last night.

I'll see what insurance says. Seb already has a customers tt lined up for me if I'm interested. I'll heal first and go from there.

Dude sorry for your loss and glad you are okay! Man that is some scary stuff.

bunk · 02-18-2019, 10:38 PM

What a snap hook and what causes it? Im gonna get an alignment soon. I was taking the curve from the 405 South to the 605N interchange, and it felt a little skiddish.

Hotrodz · 02-18-2019, 10:40 PM

Driving a Miata has shown me what speed is all about. Like Patrick said things can get all out of sorts in a hurry with big power.

Thanks man. What's scary is when it happens so fast you don't have time to react, even though I tried. And you can see what you're about to hit and all you can do is yell "oh ****"

Not sure. I of course have had the car get loose before but this just snapped left. If I didn't know better I would say that something broke but I don't know how or what that would have been.

No doubt. I was going in a straight line and was doing a low rpm pull.

I have had that happen at the track a couple of times and it is just like you described...the back end brakes loose and you are looking the other way and all you can do is hold on. I guess that is why I don't drive mine much on the street anymore or at least when it was running lol.

That is where the rear comes around so quick, that it's over with before you can do anything about it.

Causes. Big power, tires, road conditions, alignment, driver error, something broke, a combination of the fore mentioned.

It can happen to any of us, that's why I didn't give cupcake a bunch of grief
