[Gold99HO]

this is crazy i just went to the track last night had fun ill take pics of the car and the timeslips....

what happend was the tire came off the rim it wasnt mounded right.. so i hit the median at about 75-80MPH

[Bryan]

yea soooo close to 13.5 it wasnt even funny.. i think once i do rockers i should be down to 13.1-13.4

right now all i have done is 3.4 pulley, 3in down pipe , open cone, DHP... and .500 of knock

Wow, she held up well at 80 mph into a concrete barrier.

[Gold99HO]

so do you guys think its totaled lol

[bballr4567]

Very much so. Considering the driver side fender is bent on the back end thats a pretty big clue towards frame damage.

[timberwoof]

Ouch

[drumking1721]

[Bryan]

Ouchy.

[SikMindz]

I like the before picture better.

[caraudiodave]

wow, sorry to see kind of damage. it looks like you almost got f-body track times. i hope you feel better, and im sure youll get a nice car. its gotta suck that insurance wont cover it since it was on the track.

EDIT: ok so now im confused...this did NOT happen at the track? if not then what i said i guess wouldnt apply, but either way this still sucks.

[Bryan]

So...

Who's fault was the tire?

[Exodus]

So...

Who's fault was the tire?

Errr, my brain hurts trying to read that

[drumking1721]

EDIT: ok so now im confused...this did NOT happen at the track? if not then what i said i guess wouldnt apply, but either way this still sucks.

It did happen at the track...he said something about the tire not being properly put on...so were waiting to see what he says and who's to blame

[crazypontiac03]

****ty, Its totalled. Atleast your ok.

[bballr4567]

It did happen at the track...he said something about the tire not being properly put on...so were waiting to see what he says and who's to blame

Ummm last I knew there wasnt a median at a drag strip.

[drumking1721]

Ummm last I knew there wasnt a median at a drag strip.

yea but if you read his first thread his tire wasnt mounted right

[Jeremy]

may have hit the outside concrete barrier for the lane. Sucks to see the damage, and sucks even more that insurance stops coverage at the staging lanes. I've known a few people who have had their cars towed off the track to other locations and called insurance from there to report an accident ;)

[bballr4567]

yea but if you read his first thread his tire wasnt mounted right

Yea I got that but from what I understood he was coming home from the track and it happened. He shall clear this up for us. lol

[nascarnate326]

Yea I got that but from what I understood he was coming home from the track and it happened. He shall clear this up for us. lol

Thats what I thought too. :)

[Gold99HO]

no haha it didnt happen at the track thank god.... this happend on the freeway .... and i didnt get a ticket!

[drumking1721]

well still i wanna know abotu the dang tire

[notsoaveragej0e]

well still i wanna know abotu the dang tire

I know seriously.

[Graxall]

man even your car had a sad face in those first pics...

good to hear your ok, not get some insurance money, and buy a new one!

[Gold99HO]

/\ thanks everyone... well i had thoses tires mounted on thoses rims because i had a set of DR's on the... i guess they didnt mount them right and the tire detached from the rim :(

[Bryan]

So you are you gonna go after them for it?

[drumking1721]

thats retarded! go after them

[Chaos]

Are you kidding me.. I'd be pissed.. If THEY didn't do it right.. Then they are to BLAME.... Holy crap man.. at least your ok..

And no ticket eh... Good job... did ya learn a lesson there.. NO MORE STREET racing.. haha.. I know its fun ... but wow...

[GrandAmGT1996]

^I doubt he was street racing, probably just cruising along

[Gold99HO]

my dad talked to a laywer today... he said i didnt really have a case because i walked away without a scracth... NO I WAS NOT STREETRACING!

[Devo]

Thats true, because u werent injured than probably nothing would happen as there are no damages to claim except for the car but thats covered by insurance so.

[Chaos]

Sorry my mistake.. Just figured since you weren't at the track.. anywho.. sorry again...

Sucks that you can't do anything about it..

[Vampyrate]

not to be a ****, but are you planning to part it out? and if so can i have your mirrors if they're automatic?

[drumking1721]

my dad talked to a laywer today... he said i didnt really have a case because i walked away without a scracth... NO I WAS NOT STREETRACING!

they still totalled your car.....and if i were you,id run into a wall and give me self a concusion...but i knwo the safety crews are there,but still...

[Elderas]

No doctor in the world can prove your neck DOESNT hurt. theres your claim right there. especially because these sort of things usually creep up on you.

[Ajaxus]

If you are feeling any sort of pain (lacerations and broken bones aren't requirements) you can claim an injury. Considering somebody was at fault for this, you shouldn't have a problem making a case.

If this still doesn't work, I would provide ALL pertinent details for the responsibility on that tire to your insurance company. Let them pursue that one for you, it may result in no increase in your insurance and possibly other goodies. I wouldn't just let this one slide because they can pay the bill, if a lawsuit won't work for pursuing it, find an alternative route. You SHOULD get something out of this, regardless of what it is.

Good Luck!

[drumking1721]

yea dude you need to do something,thats bs,your car is totalled bc of some idiot
