No, not the first. I saw it happen about 5 or 6 years ago at Maple Grove at
a Div 1 points race.

National event prices will now be $10 more until the tree is paid off.

Since he runs M Stock Automatic, he might be the first stock racer to pinch a hole in his newly mandated pants.................

At least he didn't break the axle at speed.

in the picture, looks like he was trying to take out the tree......I might be wrong.

Wonderful series of photographs by the photographer Roger Richards, your great eyes and that high speed shutter on that probably 8K camera gets everything in that fraction of a second captured in mid air.

The guy driving looks kinda like Jamie Heineman (spelling?) from Mythbusters. Christmas tree.....BUSTED. All kidding aside, I hope the guy is alright and they don't ding him with the bill.

It was 5 or 6 years ago at maple grove.......it was a super gas car.

Was it 5-6 years ago that Szilagyi got the tree?

At Maple Grove, it was a corvette. Older one, I think in super street. Can't remember his real name, always called him gramps. Great guy, raced for years till then. Tom Goldman would remember!

The Wooden Shoe? was on the car
