Top Sportsman crash at Atco tonight

[iceman]

Most important thing is that the driver is OK, walked out, said he is ok .. Ed Haase's firebird. I had my back turned but when I heard the announcer I whipped around and saw the poor car go straight for the wall a few hundred feet out.

[iceman]

also a newer camaro going into the wall too.. bad luck on a tuesday eh

[AndrewMK]

Glad to hear he is OK he pitted a few spots down from us.

i came close to the wall my self. gotta flip my tires and roll some more delay at nite.. i seem ya taking pics...

[iceman]

yep I was out there doing a little test and tune of my own .. have this rental lens seeing how it performs in the wonderful night time lighting at Atco. I can't really practice at Index races, good thing there are lotsa bracket cars

[AndrewMK]

did ya happen to get a pic of me 1st round?

[iceman]

Not sure, but I deleted them all already. Dave should have it. I was not really covering the race, just there for practice.. not trying to step on any toes as Dave does all the bracket stuff. Most of the pics I was just playing around with different settings and technique and the pics came out like shit anyways

[AndrewMK]

gotcha.

whoo im on that page with the yellow vega, Seth i seen ya out there just didnt have time to interduce myself between me running and my pops running. who made it until that 4th gen crashed which ruined his night. would have had the bye run.
but we will meet soon!

[iceman]

yeah man, I will catch ya soon enough. It was kind of last minute going last night... had nothing better to do so why not a little test and tune

that sucks your old man had the bye there. there were a shit ton of cars, I don't know how that race ever finishes on time

I saw the camaro lose it. That was a shame about the firebird. I am glad the driver was okay. The track definitely got a little tricky once the sun set. My car walked on me the 2nd time shot and 1st round.

I'm pretty sure his night wasn't ruined as badly as the driver of the 4th gen.

Anyone know who was running that white dragster?

Ah. Actually, I believe the car belongs to Tom Conway. He is supposed to be working with Foley on the A/Fuel licensing.

I thought I recognized her eyes in the one pic but Melinda is not the gal I thought it was.

What lane ?
How far out was the crash?

Thanks
