SHIT :frown:
But the video is posted on May 5th, and Shad built the car with the highest standard. Chances are Kip is unscratched but may burn a hole in his wallet to get the monster working as before!!
..... I wonder why Kip was slowing down? .....
I don't remember the details of how, but I think I recall Kip saying that it was fortunate for the Camaro driver that he hit Kip and didn't just fly off the track and roll more than he did.
Pardon my ignorance but in a case like this, can Kip financially go after the person who caused the crash (in terms of damages to his vehicle)
True enough. However if there was something malicious and criminal involved, then it's not just racing. I've seen some intentional wheel banging and some horrifically inept driving going on in an actual race but I've never heard of a lawsuit making it to court.Nope...not really..it's racing and this stuff happens, unfortunately.

$hit, we're just happy to see some penalties applied and that doesnt' happen often enough. If I had time, I'd link to a video of a guy hitting me in T-9 at Thunderhill; the worst place on the track to try a competitive pass. He didn't get so much as a handslap because I didn't have the time and energy to pursue it. Ya gotta have video because too often the corner worker didn't see it clearly enough or is not experienced enough to know what he saw.
Anytime you're on the track, someone can ruin your day.
That's the sad part about racing, you can get trashed and not even be your fault...
The firebird driver is a moron/caused the incident.
Camaro
What is the green car, and what is the car that swerved to block the geen car?Camaro
The way it looks to me, the green car was un-sighted as Kip slowed and moved left to pass the slowing race car on the his right. The green car went left to slip past Kip but was squeezed by the closeness of the track edge and clipped Kip as Kip kept drifting left to avoid the slowing car on his right.
Pure racing incident and $hit happens on a race track.
