Default Re: DP #24 Engine failure....

Chris we share a lot of info and it's good........some that has nothing to do with racecars but more about things that happen and go wrong.....and it does happen all the time......

You refer to 2 wheeled stuff a lot and I can relate to that.....as I mentioned my son is a 2 wheel enthusiast....and has always been.....

I always worried about him getting hurt on 2 wheels....and he has wrecked and been hurt. Usually on bicycles not motorcyles!. Lets see...there was the time he got his fingers tangled up in the chain and that one really sucked for me as well as him, cause I was in the ER as the doctor worked on his fingers....... I almost went out on that one! Whew! Then there was the time he went over the bars on a mountain bike race and got a stress fracture of the arm....no biggie there......and last year he collapsed the spokes on a bike and broke a finger and had a shoulder issue as well.....all no big deal in the big picture kind of view.....

BUT one night on the way home from a questionable night out ??? He flipped his Toyota pickup near his home and climbed out of the overturned truck.....Waited fror the police.....told them a deer jumped in his path and he steered hard to avoid the deer and went over and landed with the drivers door down......He went home in some mild pain in the neck and shoulders....he was in pain all night and his wife urged him to go to the ER....good thing she did cause he had a broken neck at C-5 and could have easily been parylized. He was immobilized for 3 days........Neurosurgeons fixed him up and he was home with a neck collar and recovered fine....

So I know all about how stuff happens and hopefully things turn out good.....they sometimes do.......

Racing mishaps are usually just time, money and parts and maybe some disappointment..........

You can get this thing running right......It's just a motor!!!
