Appears to be at a track somewhere. That's a hard hit.

Don't remember who or when, but I do remember discussion about the orientation of the mirrors and if they were the result of the impact.

Was this at Buttonwillow? Any details on the accident? Heading to the track in a couple weeks and you got me worried...

The lack of comments on this thread is curious. Normally there would be 20 or 30 by this point.

I remember that photo, don't seem to be able to find the thread it was in any more...

I'm sure it's not something one would want to remember if it was their car.

It was Ricky Petty's car. Happened on track, he told me he was going 80 mph. I now have the taillights and center console from that car
