No runs. I hope the guy in the first accident is okay. I think his car caught on fire and then the chute popped out under power and the car flipped a few times I heard. The guy was walking but had some burns. The ambulence and fire trucks came.
Some guys were angry at all this but I am glad Atco is looking out for our safety and will shut things down when things are not right. I have started goning sideways @ over 120 mph on the big end with my turbo 1LE. I had to change my pants afterwards. Not fun. I have had several NDEs in my life and hope to avoid any more.
When I came home I put my stock wheels and tires on for the several long trips I am taking. So back to stock. I will not be able to get back to Atco for a while.

Damn, hope that guy is alright. Sounds like quite the accident. Getting sideways over 100 (when not intentional lol) is not fun at all. It's actually a good thing that the track has the safety of the racers (and spectators) in mind instead of throwing caution to the wind and ending up with even more problems. Also, I would love to visit ATCO at some point in time. Anyway have fun on your trips and good luck when you get back to ATCO
