John,
Yes, flipped at >100mph on turn 3 at Summit Point about 5 years ago. Nasty business for both me and the car. Became an arm restraint evangelist because of that! I'm healed pretty much and the car has been rebodied and upgraded about 40 times. Wish I could have been rebodied too :LOL::LOL::LOL: I've run at Roebling Road, Gainesville and Sebring since then and enjoyed all immensely, along with about another 10,000 miles of street use. BTW, working on assembling a 557 :JEKYLHYDE Tom |
