My name is Devin Schultz, I'm a tech and tuner for Strictly Modified. We do mostly turbo cars with our emphasis being Mitsubishi vehicles.
I went to US 41 on Sunday October 11 in hopes of a 9.1-9.2 second quarter mile pass. My best pass to date was 9.37. I was able to tie my best pass with a 9.37 and was on my way to a 9.20 until the car in the next lane lost control, came into my lane and t-boned me just as I shifted 3rd. I have no idea how I kept it out of the wall, the car came to a stop facing the starting line in the opposite lane about 1 foot from the wall.
First thing I want to say is that I'm 100% OK, the car however is not!!!
I understand the risks that I take when drag racing, and trust me I'm dealing with that right now. What's important is that both drivers walked away from this, but what bothers me is the lack of respect and attitude that I received from a fellow racer. After the shit went down he said to me, "My shits a classic and you can find one of those anywhere!" !!! I found out later that night he told my fiancé to "f**k off".
After looking at the video its pretty clear to me. He broke a driver side axle, which sent him into my lane. I'm Ok with that, but what I'm not OK with is the fact that he NEVER LIFTED. If he would have LIFTED things might be different. He also never tried to counter steer out of the slide, his wheels stayed straight the whole time. Did he mash it to the floor then closed his eyes?
The Talon will be back next year, and it will be even cleaner then it was this year. Phill Davidson will be fixing it out of Ohio. He is a hard core 2g guy and runs a bad ass body shop. Phil has a full tube frame 2g that he built and it has seen seen 7s, does fabrication work in house, has 4 laser guided frame machines. He is also the one that has always done the body work on Sheps car!! I will have step by step pictures of the fix/build, I cant wait to get her lookin right again.
