Default 2 Former Sport Compact Pro RWD Stars involved in crashes in ADRL

I'm surprised nobody's posted this already. Gary White (Titan) and Matt Hartford (Summit/GM) were both involved in crashes this weekend at the ADRL event in St. Louis. Both walked away uninjured. Titan's Scion was still able to continue in competition, while Hartford's Cobalt suffered heavy damage after crossing the center line in front of his opponent Jason Collins.

Thanks for the update and link.

What kind of stuck me was the part where the driver said, "hadn’t been handling good for a while” and that he shouldn't have been driving it.

I hope we can all learn from that.

Reminds me of the blue RX7 out of Texas, its all over the track every single run. I cringe every time i see him pulling up knowing that this could be it.

Geeez, ADRL races are crazy. There is almost always multiple crashes at each race. Glad they are both ok.

Very unfortunate, but Im glad they're both ok. I do applaud White's stellar 4.06 @ 176 qualifying time, thoh. Thats FLYING!!!

I went to the Virginia round about 3 weeks ago when the ADRL came to VA Motorsports Park. The first time coming to VMP, and it was a record VMP crowd with more than 64,000 people in attendance, and the quickest field in ADRL Extreme 10.5 history! Im definitely coming back next year!

Those "small tires" work better and have more technology in them than most big tires.

No doubt they work very well, im just saying more cars getting loose on them than the big tire classes.
