That really sucks man. The car was so clean and well put together. It just looked nice. I hope you are able to get back up and running soon...
 
I saw this on another forum a couple days ago, it's a hard vid to watch :(

Such an awesome car.
 
Damn man.. that blows, i didnt see that commin when i was watchin the video. Look on the bright side though, Like TSimage said, the most important part of the car survived. Now asll you gotta do is find something to put it in =)
Best of luck man, Sucks it had to end that way.
 
I here all this e-thuggery...

I doubt any of you would do what you said you'd do. Under the assumption that it wasn't intentional you'd only look like a fool, end up getting your ass beat or worse. Its racing. At any point in time you could have a suspension/tire malfunction that would send you side ways into a wall or another lane/car. This is just a risk of the sport.

But even though I have never heard of said car before, it looks well put together. Sucks to see it gone but the most important part of the car survived so that is what's important. Stick all that stuff into a lighter 1g shell and go faster.

Actually i would do something. I dont talk shit. I kicked a kids ass for running into the back of my BMW (no big damage just a nice scratch). So i think if this much damage happened i would probably beat that guy close to death.

I wait for the day a tough guy like you who can't control his child like anger tries some stupid crap like that. The one thing I do like about Texas is the right to carry a concealed weapon.

Get your ANGRIES out

Sorry to hear about the car, I gasped when I saw the video! I hope we can see it all swapped into a new car shortly...
 
Wow,this is unfortunate,sorry to see this happen to Devin,hope you guys gather everything and continue to stay with a dsm for next season.Is there anything the guy who hit you is gonna do to help out towards replacement of anything?
 
Guys, this is what happens at the track. It is part of racing and something that you should always consider when you run.

Devin, this really sucks. I absolutely love that car :(

Actually no. We go to the track in order to avoid this type of thing, ie "street racing". This happens a hell of a lot more on the street vs on the track. So I have no idea what you mean by that statement.

Sucks about your car, your lucky it wasn't near all the expensive parts. Why isn't there a wall in the middle anyway???
 
Nothing that a little ducktape, bondo and some buffing cant fix... Sorry to see that happen to anybodies car. But the main thing is that it looked like no one really got physically hurt

I'm with Red Alert on this.

^^^ He speaks the truth. I'm not sure what area you live in but with your mentality you wont make it very far anywhere else. If I saw you hop out of your car and start whaling on a kid for an accident he couldn't have prevented like in the video I'd personally come over and bash your head in for being a complete idiot.

If it is on purpose that is one thing, but when there is nothing to prevent it then its stupid. This video could have happened the other way around, then what? T case explodes and all of a sudden red DSM in the side of the Dodge. Now what? Still wanna fight?

Such stupid reasoning. People goto the track to avoid the pedestrian/traffic aspect of racing, the rest of the dangers remain. Nothing about the track is more safe, it is probably more dangerous. A lot more powerful cars and the like. The only difference is the typical person at a track tends to be a better driver or more in tune with the condition of their car.

Very well said. I agree all 100%:thumb::thumb:
 
I agree as well. I'm sure the guy that hit him wasn't happy about it either
Sorry to see such a nice car get such bad damage but it could be worse you could have rolled it

I took this quote from the local forum

The worst part is, the guy didnt even say he was sorry. He told my fiance to get f***ed. Hes exact words were, "How do you think I feel, my car is a classic and you can find one of those anywhere"

So needless to say he will not be helping me. I beleive that any insurance company will not cover anything at a dragstrip. Am I wrong?

Devin @ Strictly Modified
 
sorry about your car. also to see another another mopar get destroyed. it looks to be a 67-69 barracuda
 
I took this quote from the local forum

Let the a$$ kicking comense. :hellyeah:

Regardless of the fact of how much more that dodge was worth than the tlaon (I'd argue anywhere from 3Xs+) the guy CAUSED the accident and isn't even remorseful. That would be a problem. People like that are scum. Hopeully next time he misses the left lane and shoots right into the wall. Jackass..

Now I would have to punch him out if he told My Fiance to "Get Fu*ked" That's some bullshit. If the guy pulls out a gun and shoots you, then he is a Puussy....Why can't guys fight with their fists anymore. What is with these guys bringing guns to a fist fight?? Thats a good way to end up in Jail for 5 years for involuntary Man slaughter EVEN if you have a Weapon permit. Its NOT a license to KILL haha.

I would NOT punch him cause he wrecked into me. He couldn't help doing that. But talking shit to my Fiance is another story. I'd Make his old ass apologize to her.

As far as the wreck is concerned, accidents happen. It sucks but at least no one was hurt or killed in the wreck. That's always a plus :thumb:

Atleast with State Farm(and most others Im sure) in Ohio if they find out you have been racing at a track they will drop you immediately even if you dont file a claim. I think that ####stick in the rust sled needs to have some vandalizing done to his other cars and/or house. Its one thing to cause an accident and be sorry, we all realize its shitty but it happens. But to make that comment, he needs to be put in line.
 
why not fix it. i mean it really doesnt look that bad. i fixed far more worse than that. it sux to be hit like that. i was t-boned on the passenger side. the door came in about a foot and half, roof buckled, little frame work damage i will post a picture soon.

glad to see that your okay.:pray:

UHHHH???? ROFL

You go to the track to race in a controlled environment where the only lives that are at risk are yours and the other guy who chose to race. No amount of controlled environment can stop something like this from happening. It is an unfortunate part about the sport you chose to participate in.
