off track damage

don R · 04-05-2009, 05:49 PM

My dragster got wrecked in the lanes this weekend. Someone backed onto my nose and front tires. Just the front end and enough so it can't be raced. What are everyones thoughts on responsibility for an off track accident? If I had backed into someones truck or trailer I would pay to repair it. Is a race car different?

Think the person that backed into you should ante up for repairs!
Tom concurs!

Someone was backing out of there pit area last nite and ran into my trailer and he was great about it and paid me on the spot!!!! I would do the same thing if i caused any damage to someones race car or rig.

Without question, I would feel horrible and pay for it. So did the guy offer to pay, or do you have to break his legs?

He made a run for it. Track security caught him at the gate. I'm not naming names until I see if he comes around. If he no help. He get plenty publicity. Got his NHRA and drivers license info, photos and many witnesses including track personell. He said he was directed to back up. The track personell were very helpful.
