Well I feel like if I am going to try to keep up this social media thing about the racecar I should actually have started at the beginning! If people want to follow along, that is cool. If not I guess its for my own entertainment :D But recently for those that did not know, I crashed the trusty AP1 I have been autocrossing and tracking for years. I bought this car from a friend that autocrossed it in 2014. Fell in love instantly with it and have enjoyed it completely over the years. It has been through some stuff but I have kept it in pretty good shape overall. But, this summers events took it out of the game (at least for now... keeping the shell and there may be more to come on that!) But for now, this was the outcome of the crash.
I walked away just fine. Safety gear did its thing. I cannot say it enough, if tracking, and especially if getting serious or competing, put money into the safety gear. Having a roll bar, harness, race seat and Schroth SHR Flex (Hans type device) was wise obviously. The staff at Hallett were excellent and handled the incident well. Car started and drove onto the trailer afterwards as well! I am starting this here to follow up with the build progress as we get the new car ready to go so will try to keep updates coming as that progresses.
