Saying goodbye to a NICE Old School Colt

[jrod@buschur]

A buddy of mine posted these crash pics on a bike forum this morning. It happened at Dragway 42 here in Ohio the other night. I guess it rolled 12 times at 130mph. Driver has a broken arm and thats it. The cage cracked but it definitely saved his life.

Some of you will remember that this is what the car looked like Sunday about 3pm here at the shootout.

Man that thing is wasted! It sure did look clean, at least a new shell is going to be cheap.
Chromoly cage?

Sorry to hear about this, it was a beautiful car. Glad the driver made out allright considering the damage. 42 is like a godamn rollercoaster, my butt comes out of the seat when I make a pass there. Any word on what caused the wreck?
