Re: off track damage
A few years ago at Atco some moron super streeter's 66 Chevelle came flying out of her trailer and ran into a rental car in our pit.
The girl was pretty upset and immediately offered to take care of everything. I forget her name. |

Re: off track damage
I know of two incidents within the last three weeks of race cars being hit while parked beside their trailers in the pits. Because the accidents happened on private property the police had no jurisdiction. It appears to me a person needs to collect on damages before the other party leaves the track. As a last resort, prior to bodily harm, you might at least accept a check which if bad might leave some legal recourse. It is sad there are people who will not accept responsibility for their actions.

Re: off track damage
Phone number was not legible [by track officials] I got it now. Will call his business in the AM. Who knows he might be a great guy.

Re: off track damage
Sometimes you meet the nicest people after a mishap.
The first time our Camaro was at the track. Some guy backed out of staging and demolished the entire front end. Luckily it was still in primer, but really squished. The Monday after the race UPS pulled up with boxes and boxes of new parts to repair it. Scot and I have been good friends ever since. I hope your mishap turns out OK, but if the guy won't own up to his responsibility, remember, you can sue him. Private property or not, you have legal recourse.

Re: off track damage
I met with the guy, everything is now good. He paid for everything I asked for and we shook hands. Now I consider him a new friend. Witnesses did say he was directed by a yelling official to back up and go around to another lane. He was watching his class going around the corner and got shook-up. Anyway it's over and done with. Thanks everyone for your support.

Re: off track damage
Good to hear he was a stand up guy and did the wright thing. Everyone including myself expected the opposite, and that is unfortunate.
