anyone at milan today??

There was one really nice car that just lost it and put it into the wall, by then the track was getting pretty bad, once the sun when donw the track temp dropped a shit load and everyone was having a hard time, he was almost the last racer for the day also.

i heard the motor went and oiled down the tires and it went strait into the wall...the black and yellow chevy 2? that's what i heard from my buddy Rob who was there spectating....that's just what i heard?
 
I'm not sure about the oil down. He got very loose then couldn't save it. Almost acted as the throttle wasn't responding like it should have.
 
I never saw laundry.

He got down track and at about the 300ft mark he moved towards the wall. He nudged it a bit to hard from what I could see and shot towards center track. as he came intowards center track he cut hard to the right the car got sideways and then he tried to correct that. when he corrected the left veer he grabbed some wheel to come back right and it just took off for the wall. He hit before the 1/8 marker. As he hit the wall the throttle stuck open driving the car about 100ft downtrack.

Thats how it looked from me on the stands closet to the starting line looking directly down track. I felt so bad for that guy. It was a really nice car and he almost saved it but between the cold track and maybe some oil from a few smokers it was just to out of shape to bring back.

I did here directly from the guys he was with that he was ok aside from being a bit stiff.

It was swaying back and fourth and it looked like it spun out once the chute was released.
