Well there was an accident report, right? You've called your insurance co. already? Next step is to get some estimates, turn them in to the ins co, and get the car fixed. What do you want a lawyer for? Kentucky is no-fault, so your insurance company will go after their insurance company for damages.

 

I had a great experience with Wayne Partin Frame and Body in Eastgate phone #: 513-752-6747. I was told they were the best in the area..so I took my Evo to them. They took GREAT care of my Evo when it had a repair bill of $10k. They went to great lengths to make it like new. IMO it was repainted to better than new condition They even replaced some parts that I didn't even notice damage on...like a slight scratch on one of the headlights and a tiny nick on one of my moldings. They also gave me any of the parts I wanted..like the headlight which I resold. I had a stock intercooler but wanted an aftermarket so they ordered and installed my Buschur fmic.
Great overall experience.

 

This is it guys...

I'll be leaving Wednesday morning for my first trip to the NASA Nationals at Mid Ohio Sports car Course. Thanks to the support of all of my sponsors - Jay Racing, PIC Suspension, Pure Tuning, State Farm, Tracksource LLC, and of course Visa, Mastercard, and my wife - I'm in a great position to make my mark. The 'top secret' plan is complete; the net effect of which is more horsepower, more torque, and most importantly more tire. I'll be running 275/35-18 Hoosier R6's in an effort to run down those terrible Corvettes. There are some National level drivers in my class, so I will still have quite a battle on my hands. With the new setup on the car being un-tested, I have no idea what to expect but a top 5 finish would be a complete success. I think a top 3 is not out of the realm of possibilities....

Below is a link to track my progress live during the event. I am running in TTA, which is run group I, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (3 sessions per day). Anyone local is encouraged to stop by the track to watch the competition and cheer me on. I will be posting a complete post-Nationals write up after the event.

Please help me out by supporting my sponsors; without them I would be sitting home this weekend.

Well first the good news. I went faster, the car is mostly in one piece, and I'm only sore. The bas news is that I had two personal goals that I failed to meet, was not really competitive, and I found out the car flies fairly well. Back straight, 145+, no brakes. At all. Zero scrub. The eyewitness accounts include dirt trailing off the tires as I left the track (just like in the movies!), at least 10 feet of 'air', and a long jump distance of 30-40 feet. The launch was HARD, first hit in the gravel was hard, than it just bounced across the top of the gravel, and finally dug in HARD with the right front - rotating the car and finally digging in less than 20 feet from the tire wall. I thought for a split second it might roll, but it didn't. All the safety equipment did it's job. Oh, and I missed t-boning the car in front of me by less than 10 feet...

Damage report:
Both front fenders bent
undertray gone
front lip gone
RF fender liner gone
front bumper ripped away from RF fender
rear bumper ripped away from LR fender
exhaust pulled out of the rear hanger
LF Hoosier cut down to the cords by the fender
And the cause of all the damage, LR brake line cut by the rear knuckle

BIG, BIG thanks to Steve for spending his weekend at the track helping me out, without his and Neal's help on friday I would have been home friday night. Thanks to Dieter-Heinz Kojira for letting me have his runner pick up new brake lines at Buschurs for me, Keith and Aaron at Pure Tuning for advice and always having time to help out.

In the end I came up a bit short of my goals, but it was a great event and I'm now looking towards the last regional event in 3 weeks. Winning the region is probably not possible, but I'm hoping to wrap up 2nd place. Not a bad season.
