Re: DeFrank involved with crash with TS car in Fontana
Is Jimy ok? I hate that for the DeFrank family and all involved.

Re: DeFrank involved with crash with TS car in Fontana
Sorry, I should have included what little I know about the condition of the drivers. Jimmy was out of the car by the time the track workers arrived. As of yesterday morning, he commented to me that he was feeling fine. I have no information regarding the driver of the TS car. At Fontana, Stock/SS has its own pit area somewhat removed from the rest of the competitors. Many of the Super cars are almost a mile from the starting line in the opposite direction so we rarely see those people. I didn't recognize the name of the other driver. Logically, human nature being what it is, no news is good news. If he had been seriously injured I'm fairly sure we would have heard something (probably an exaggerated version) yesterday.

Re: DeFrank involved with crash with TS car in Fontana
And I heard the T/S driver somehow had the nerve to bitch (afterwards) at DeFrank for some reason...

Re: DeFrank involved with crash with TS car in Fontana
In any event it doesn't sound as if the crash would have been Jimmy's fault anyway. Anything can and will happen on the racetrack but I have seen time and time again how drivers are overmatched by the high HP TS or TD cars. Maybe someone should learn when to lift?
Just my $.02
