Yep. A different kind of record..fastest self-induced wreck on an outlap. Not recorded but well remembered.

Wow Lee, nice job. Sorry for the late response, but have not been here for a while.
The glen is a fun spot because not only is the layout fun, the crazy weather there always brings with it new twists. Somehow i posted a lap in the 13.7 range last year during qualifying at the un-fun one. My good buddies Lehner and youngsman made sure I did not get close to that number again in the race. Sounds like you guys had a great race. Mark

Speaking of shortest races, I finally got around to editing the video from the qual race incident.

Another thing that saved you, Tom -- the roll bar side tube structure that prevented Swanny's car from bouncing into your cockpit. Whew. You did get a helluva start, though. I was right inside of you at the green flag and got balked while you checked out.
Then I got really lucky when my fuel pump relay failed heading up through the Esses on the first lap. When that shunt happened, I was driving back across the infield -- totally pissed off -- after leaving the track at Turn Four to drive across the infield over to the pits to have my car, which re-started after driving off the track surface, looked at my the Motion Dynamics crew. Denny -- Jeff Swann did tweak his wrist in the shunt. He whacked Roy Albertalli's car at nearly 70 MPH and his steering shaft snapped in two. Otherwise, all okay, thank God. |

I have a new found love for my Hans!
Glad to hear that everyone is OK. |
Those of us who missed that collision were very fortunate indeed! I was in the blue and white #81 who just missed Chris Pluta and unfortunately, Roy # 58 was right behind me and couldn't avoid hitting Chris. I didnt see any of the accident except what I caught in my rear view mirrors until this video was published. Very messy but glad everyone was OK except for several sprained wrists ( Jeff Swann and Roy). Hoping for a cleaner Fun One.
