Holy cow. That 1st one was the worst!

that red one in the 2nd post with the guy looking in, i have seen in person, it was at a local junkyard.

That brings back bad memories. You should have seen my old one after I got hit head-on, on the highway, by a drunk driver.



Im gonna go cry now.

Well, let's bring this closer to home, then. Trev Dagley and his

friend Jon were both wearing their seat belts when they crashed

on Saturday, June 24th, 2000 in Jim Dagley's CYM R1. Sunday

the 25th would have been his 27th birthday, and he was testing a

new in-car camera mount for an event in California that he and his

father were going to attend for his birthday present. The footage

ends right before the crash, after four consecutive redline shifts on

a long straight.



The car left the road at an estimated 140 mph, and Trev was

immediately expelled from the vehicle despite having his seatbelt on,

and died on impact. His friend Jon was still in the car, which traveled

200 yards from the road, over a hill 15 feet above the surface the road,

hit a stand of Alder trees, and slid to the ground to partially burn as

the tank filler hose was torn from the tank. He was dead on impact,

his head where his feet should have been, his feet up by the roof...

still in his seatbelt.



If you think a seatbelt will save you, even if your car has a full cage

and 5-point harnesses, you're fooling yourselves. Professional drivers

in controlled environments sometimes don't make it despite more roll

cage than you'd ever put in a passenger car, neck braces, and

helmets. Trees and rocks don't give much, and uneven terrain can

do things to a car that no cage designer ever planned for. Side impacts

from another NASCAR driver isn't what we're worried about here, it's

sharp pointy things, like branches, going through windows and the

gaps in the cage. Rocks don't have crumple zones. Drive sane, and if

you "have" to travel at high speeds, at least do it as responsibly as

possible. In isolated areas, for short bursts, in straight lines.



Every time I hear someone say "just take 'em in the twisties", I cringe

for two reasons. First, because it's probably the "gayest" thing I've ever

heard a group of supposedly cool people adopt as a standard phrase.

Second, because I know that many of you think you automatically

inherited super-human driving powers by buying your "perfectly-balanced"

cars, but when it comes right down to it, more than likely can't drive well

enough to save your life if an unexpected situation arose. I'm constantly

reading about someone who has bent a rim or wrecked their car because

they spun it on wet pavement or zigged when they should have zagged,

usually on bald tires... and this is what you entrust your life to? Bald

tires

and your driving skills? Remind me never to ride with you. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



It'll be far worse when that situation happens and you're traveling far too

fast to pull your fat out of the fire. Don't fool yourself into believing

you're in

control of the machine, or that you can get away with something because

it's an RX-7... or because you've got track tires on the car... or because

you've attended Skip Barber's driving school... or whatever justification or

rational you come up with for putting your (and sometimes others) life in

danger.



You only get one ride on the merry-go-round, folks. Make it last.

Thats pretty close to what my old BB looked like afterwards. This thread is sad, it should get locked.

No way Jose' https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Looks like it rolled over?

yep, i forget the story but he either went off or hooked a wheel on a curb and rolled it

isnt that trev dagley's car? is it is he died in that thing

thanks Mike!



And on a sadder note, Trev and his companions death were not neccasary

Thats dead on. Good post.

Damn, Jio... i remember that one. It was right before the paddock entry/overpass area.

Fd3BOOST,

Do you happen to have the specifics on any of the cars? Just curious.....in the first group of photos, the top middle black car, and the silver car directly below it both have some unusual, but very similar damage.

Those look like the "Oh **** im about to hit a poll/tree!" pics

i see ito and vosko...and vosko with a mullet.

Well, it sort of looked like compression forces came from above. The first car looks to be a 99 spec bumper without the reinforcement, so that might make it hard to tell. Either way your right though, the driver's seat probably needed to be shampooed.

just looking at these makes me cringe!

my car was like a ding compared to those!!

what rims are these?

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/index.php?...e=post&id=34545

Look a bit like Volks, but then again I dont know ****.

makes me feel lucky...I need to slow it down

Not the ones that look like they hit a pole. They are just pics I had in my comuter. Rikkis car is the top black one and the lower black one with the PFS window sticker. His was rear ended sitting at a stop light. That one and Voskos were the only two I knew.

come on man their borbets, you've never seen jios car?? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif
