The worst way to flame out
I am not sure if anyone has had this happen before but I wanted to share what happened Saturday while I was warming up before the start of the 2nd qualifier. I was just starting to go down the straight when another buggy hit a double wrong hitting my cooling head and cracked my crank case in 2. It was a brand new motor with only 1 race on it.

It was actually the track owner who hit me and he was very apologetic and helped me a lot to get everything replaced in time for next qual. I had to get my back up motor on, replace a bent servo horn, and broken throttle linkage. No offer to pay for anything but I didn't expect him to. It is just one of those freak accidents where everything hit in the right spot for catastrophe. It is a part of racing.
