well everyone, you may have read about my recent success in finally breaking the 12 sec. barrier in my mild setup street car. it was only 12.9 but had more in it still, poss. 12.7/6 which i was going to try for in the next week or 2 before my track closed. well i was out for a drive the other day just dropping off a video at blockbuster and filling up the tank, when on the way home disaster struck. im not fully aware of what caused the incident but, my back end got out on me because 1 of my memory pieces was the car spinning. i went off the road at 80 mph and struck a gaurdrail at 90deg., i mean the dead end of the gaurdrail!!! the guardrail then punched a hole in my drivers door and popped my pass. door off. i awoke from the crash with a guardrail in my lap and paramedics all around. i would like to mention that if it were not for the memoryfab carbon race bucket that i had installed approx. 1 month ago i might have died. the seat dropped my body position down approx. 5" and that would have been enough for the gaurdrail to sever my legs and femoral arteries completely, instead of the 3" cut (couple stitches) and minor bruise that i got (only on my right leg). so thank you memoryfab!!! just wanted to tell everyone goodbye, as i might be out of the honda scene for awhile (not too sure yet.)

all i can say, and im sure you will too after you see the pictures, is that i am very lucky!! and i thank god every day that i survived this accident with the minor damage that i did. i broke both the bones in my forearm, the 1 in my bicep, and fractured my shoulder blade. i had to get some plates and pins in my forearm and some rods in my bicep. very lucky!

ps: if this is in the wrong place mods can you please move, just put it here because i frequent this forum.











well everyone drive safe
and goodbye to the love of my life i loved that car more than anything in the world (well except my wife i guess )

 

i will be putting up some on the scene pics when my friend sends them to me (he is an emt in my area and i went to HS with a few of the paramedics that were there)

 

man that **** sucks ***. Damn that was a bad crash good to hear your ok.

 

OUCH! that sucks dude.

 

Glad to see that you're ok, it could have been a lot worse.

 

Damn, I can't imagin what you must feel like right now.

is the motor/drivetrain ok?

 

hope you have a fast recovery buddy. Get well

 

thanks for the well wishes guys. i feel ok i guess, other than a dead left arm. they said i should make a 100% recovery. oh yeah and the drivetrain is good except for a dent in my header from the radiator hitting it. im thinkin of tossing it in a teggie so i can run a stock engine class instead of swap class

 

wow well I am really glad that you are ok thank god for the memory fab bucket seat you got. well good luck to you hopefully you can get another honda soon.
good luck to ya.

 

Dam good to see your still typing. Very close.

 

sorry about your loss...

 

Its just good to hear that your alive man. There will always be eg's around just waiting for someone to build them up. GL to ya and take care. Go get some rest, or at least some lovin from the Wife.

 

glad your alive man

 

Cars can be rebuilt, but life can't be given back.
Glad you made it out dude.

 

you are extremly lucky !

another good example of why people need to obey the rules of the road, its for your own saftey, no matter how safe you feel, something can happen.

im glad to see you made it out alive.

 

Ouch! You are very lucky to be alive! Good luck on your recovery!

 

Glad to see you are ok.Get some rest and start over the good thing is you can come back.

 

DUDE! That's brutal looking accident!

Glad to hear you made it out alive! You are very very lucky!

 

yeah luck is not the word for it! it could have been sooo much worse. im getting better and better by the day and cant wait to see how things go with insurance so i can figure out when i can start building a new ride. thanks again everybody

 

I love my cars also man! , But not more than my life! As long as you are still living, that's all that matters! You can buy and build another car identical IMO but you only get one life.

 

Wow! That sucks about the car, however it's great to see you made it out with the injuries you did! I hope the rest of your recovery goes well!

 

good to see you alive.
