hell i'm a father! i'd hate to have someone hit a car vehicle with him inside( which did happen, one week after his was born) or for me to die up there. but that's how confindent/confortable i am with my car. but there is always a chance things can go wrong.....as did with jamal. the title of this could have said "jamal died during mtn run" but it didn't.

hey.....

i dont drive a cavy!!!

Ahh so you started rough! I was told if I'm sticking with the particular car I had to start with it stock and progressively get better at controlling what I have! As I mod it, do it in bulk so I notice the difference the whole makes instead of changing things bit by bit.

My second ever autocross was an SCCA ProSolo II event driving a Toyota MR2 Turbo in the rain... :)

Notes:

-Going around a semi off balance curve at around 55-60
-Threw the car out a tad in the rear
-rear right tire caught the grass and pulled the car into a ditch
-after correcting the car from being sideways I hit a 3ft storm drain
-flew about 5ft into the air
-landed about 20+ feet away from where I was launched

Damage:

-radiator was bent in about 10in. on driver side
-opened a 1/2in. hole on top of radiator and leaked coolant
-rear bumper torn completely off
-rear axle has a slight dent that put the camber to about +2 in the right rear
-driver side wheel was bent back and camber is off about -4
-Engine overheated and cracked head (what we think so far)

Me and JDMJayDC2 took off the valve cover and saw that one of the valves was bent connecting to the rocker arm. It was on the 2nd rocker arm of the #1 cylinder. I'll be taking the head off tomorrow and will be seeing what exactly happened on the top side of the block and if it was just a valve that floated, cracked head, etc.

Also, thanks Jorje! Some people just feel it neccesary to bitch when the uncommon happens :screwy:

what roads are "made for it"? and how does doing it in the middle of the night make it any safer?

EVERYONE seems to be missing the point... don't drive like an asshat on public roads. go to the mountains, drive the roads, enjoy them; but don't push it to the limit in some attempt to be a badass or inflate your ego. no matter what day of the week or time of day it's just not safe to do so, period. there's a large difference between a spirited run and being stupid. if you don't know the difference then stay away until you do.

While driving on mountain roads, no matter how careful you are driving or how uncareful you are being mistakes happen...I knew a guy in HS that died up in the mountains driving slowly back from his grandparent's house in the mountains because his tire blew out and he went over a cliff...

If you make a mistake it is how you recover from the mistake that counts not what you did to prevent it cas it already happened... sounds like to me that he got lucky\driving skill he was able to prevent any other harm...I have never meet him before, but if I hadnt already had plans I prolly would have been in the pack with him...

Well the lesson learned is if you run off a mtn road that were designed for fast driving and crack your radiator, you will likely float a valve, especially in a cavalier that for some reason wasnt designed to fly "5 feet" in the air.

But the good news is now it gives him a reason to actually build his car using the parts in his sig roll car that have been there for 3 years and he can finally break into the 13s.

true... to a point. but when you're in over your head mistakes happen much more quickly and freqently. passing a semi on the outside of an off camber turn was a bad decision and it cost him.

i'm not really commenting on the accident at hand anyway, more to the people encouraging using the mountains as a place to find your limits. they are not the place to do it, plain and simple. yes accidents can happen anytime whether you're driving miss daisy or setting a new land speed record, but take a guess at who's more likely to eat it (and in a grand fashion) ;).

you might wanna read again. no one said he was passing a semi on the outside. besides, that would put the semi in the wrong lane :eek: LOL
