Bartone qualifying incident

#1 06-06-2008, 05:50 PM

It looks like it stood on the wheelie bar, came down, and broke steering again, Bartone hitting the wall. Hopefully he's ok, isn't this the 2nd time this year that they've done this???

I was just thinking that as I read the run comments. Big Jim better explain to that car it's not a super stocker.

Mark.

Remember about 8 - 10 years ago when they used to stand them up quite regularly? I know it's hard on parts but I sure liked watching them!

He did it in Gainesville too. Wonder if Big Jim has anything to say to Bahtone about it? I bet not

It's a matter of wheel speed, not driver.

Go get'em T-Bone.

That was a scary incident. It appeared he came real close to tagging TJ when the car shot across the track with the broken suspension. I am glad he was able to walk away. Here's some pictures of the damage.

that sucks. I suppose they don't have another of those bodies?

They had another green body on display next to the Sony display. I don't know if the chassis is in race condition though.
