R.I.P. Car# 21 (Pictures Inside)
Well, Here it is as there is nothing left but a nice cage. Thanks to all those that bought a few things that were good, I will put that towards another car as soon as I can and get back out there.
It was a great car and I had a lot of fun with it. The car was just one of those you rarely had to mess with and always hooked up.
I gotta thank Jeff Robbins for helping me get in this car. If I get a C6 down the road for a new T1/ST2 build, you my friend would have first dibs to race it.

Look real close at the concrete wall from tower view, split in half and moved in. YIKES!!!!

It was a good car! I feel that putting the calipers from it on my car is worth .5 sec at least!

What a bummer that is wasn't savable... The brutal side of racing, but so long as you walked away uninjured at least you know you'll be back someday!

rasrboy, thanks for posting the pics. Pretty sad to see.
Do you have any pics of the car after the incident but still all together?
Good luck on getting back on the track soon!!!

Aaron,
John Stracensky and I were just talking about your car Saturday night at the Cleveland Auto Show SCCA display and how good your car always looked. There are tons of black T1 C5s out there, but yours always looked the best.
Sad to see, my friend, but on to other things!

Thanks for posting the additional pics. That sure was a beautiful car! Really a shame. The important thing is that you walked away. Truly amazing!
After seeing those pics when I got home from work I had to have a couple of cocktails as well!! That was one heck of an impact.
